Assume that I have a document like below
{
"\_index": "sample",
"\_type": "doc",
"\_id": "student\_id\_1",
"\_version":2,
"\_score":1,
"\_source":
{
"title": "Higher secondary",
"DOJ":2020-06-23,
"S\_id":"SH123",
"first\_name":"Gopiraj",
"last\_name":"Muthusamy"
"subjects":[
{
"name":"english"
"type":"communication"
"sub\_id":1
},{
"name":"Maths"
"type":"learning"
"sub\_id":2
},{
"name":"science"
"type":"learning"
"sub\_id":3
}]
}
}
from the above document i using highlight method to display the macthed field and its value but its not returning other fields inside the hash, for example the word that i need to search for is "learning", I'm expecting ES should return like below in highlight or in any other form
[
{
"sub\_id":2,
"type":"learning"
},{
"sub\_id":3,
"type":"learning"
}
]
Please guide

does highlight\_query inside highlight will work? I know that highlight\_query is used to work on the resultant data but still is there is any chance of getting the results expected above?
