The minimum "stuff" needed to highlight term X in field F is:

field F must be 'stored'
field F must have an analyzer defined
a query with term X is sent (e.g., q=X)
with parameters hl=true (or 'on'), hl.fl=F

Try it on the example:
1. get the example running
2. cd example/exampledocs
3. ./post.sh *.xml
4. execute a query:

http://localhost:8983/solr/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=solr&start=0&rows=10&fl=*%2Cscore&qt=standard&wt=standard&explainOther=&hl=on&hl.fl=features

Thanks Christian. I did try many options indicated in wiki, didn't work. So I want to see if the basics work, i.e. only define hl=true and a field for hl.fl. Do I need to include something global to make hl settings work?

Thanks,
- Kevin

Hi there,

I am new to solr. I want search term to be highlighted on the results. I thought it is pretty simple, but could not make it work. I read a lot of solr documents and mail archives (I wish there is a search function for
this, we are talking about solr, aren’t we? ☺).

Take a look at hl.fragsize, hl.snippets, and hl.mergeContiguous, as per
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters.

In particular, setting hl.fragsize to 0 might be what you want if I understand
your question correctly.

Best regards
- Christian
