Very excessive highlight fragments

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

The opposite of my other problem - sometimes when I ask for highlighting
back from ElasticSearch, the highlight excerpt is much, much larger than my
requested fragment size. In one case, I got a highlight excerpt of over
34,000 characters, when my requested fragment size was only 200.

Any ideas of how I can combat this?

Hi,

was it a single valued field of multi valued field? Any chance you can
provide recreation script for this?

The field is a single value field, just one big string. Not sure what you
mean by recreation script - but I can try to provide more details if needed.
I haven't exposed the Elasticsearch port publicly yet, but I could possibly
do that if it helped with debugging.

Recreation script is a sequence of curl commands that can be used by others
to get the same issue. Check Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic for more
info and examples about recreation script.
