Just to clarify this question a little, if I search for the term "specificato" and designate highlighting (hl=true) then my highlighting comes back fine.
If I search for "something else", designate highlighting and attach a different query to it (hl.q="specificato") then I do not always get good highlighting results back (highlighting fields are sometimes empty). -----Original Message----- From: Van Tassell, Kristian [mailto:kristian.vantass...@siemens.com] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2013 7:43 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Highlighting result problems My highlighting works the bulk of the time, but there are occurrences where I find it is not returning highlighting hits when it should. My requirements for the query is to use a "q" and a "hl.q" parameter. When I just use the "q" parameter, the highlighting comes back every time correctly. 10% of the time, or so, when I use both parameters, I get no highlighting back. Here are some examples: select?q=l'assieme&wt=xml&defType=edismax&qf=text_it_IT&hl=true Highlighting, this is perfect, but we need to be able to provide the hl.fl field select?q=l'assieme&wt=xml&defType=edismax&qf=text_it_IT&hl=true&hl.q=l'assieme&hl.fl=text_it_IT No highlighting select?q=l'assieme&wt=xml&defType=edismax&qf=text_it_IT&hl=true&hl.q=assieme&hl.fl=text_it_IT Highlighting, but, by request, without the l' select?q=it_IT-foobar-2150&qf=id&wt=xml&defType=edismax&qf=text_it_IT&hl=true&hl.q=l'assieme&hl.fl=text_it_IT No highlighting, this is more accurate to a standard query we'll be doing (querying different values) Wondering whether the bug was related to the apostrophe in l'assieme, I tried some other words I was seeing trouble with and see the same problems: select?q=specificato&wt=xml&defType=edismax&qf=text_it_IT&hl=true Perfect select?q=specificato&wt=xml&defType=edismax&qf=text_it_IT&hl=true&hl.q=specificato&hl.fl=text_it_IT No highlighting
