Is it possible to run a query against a specific document? I have the doc ID and the query; I'd like to just query that document. Thanks! -- ---

Actually, let me clarify: I just want the terms highlighted in the document, if there's a match. I could do it via JS in the client, but maybe ES is faster....

Have you seen highlighting option in Search API [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/highlighting.html) ?

Yes I have. If I am able to search a specific doc, then I can use the highlight option too.

How about ids filter?

According to what has been said in this thread to fetch only one document, I have tested the following query trying to highlight just one document: SearchResponse response2 = getClient().prepareSearch() .setIndices("myindex") .setTypes("mytype") .setQuery(QueryBuilders .boolQuery() .should(QueryBuilders.matchQuery("2C", "house")) ) - .setFilter(FilterBuilders.idsFilter("ve0"))\* .addHighlightedField("2C", 250, 1) .execute() .actionGet(); System.out.println("Returned " + response2.getHits().getTotalHits() + " results"); However, the query produces zero results. By commenting out the line \*//.setFilter(FilterBuilders.idsFilter("ve0")) \* 10 results are generated as expected. The id specified is correct. So, is it a bug or a misuse of idsFilter()?

I have just got my answer from fix to this bug > which contains a TestCase > where proper syntax is: .setFilter(FilterBuilders.idsFilter("vertex").ids("ve0")) and document is now returned.
