Hi I have been using Solr with Regex Fragmenter to get the highlighted fragments in a particular format from large text fields. like " This is a _highlighted_ fragment. " Is there a way I can do the same with elastic search? Thanks and regards Rahil ---

There isn't a regex fragmenter in elasticsearch (which seems to only apply to the regular highlighter), but we can easily expose one).
