Highlighting is complex and more hacky than you'd imagine at first glance.
Each highlighter is different and we can't tell which one you are using
without seeing your mapping. For the plain highlighter the cost is roughly
proportional to the length of the highlighted field. So in your case its
the cost to reanalyze every one of those pages.

You could return which page is matched pretty cheaply if you were willing
to write a plugin. Especially if you just wanted to know the first page or
something.

You could try using explain if you searched for text_content_*.  That'd
tell you which field matched.
