There are two things going on that you should be aware of. The first is,
Solr Highlighting is mainly concerned about putting a representative
snippet in a results listing. There are a couple of configuration changes
you need to do if you want to highlight a whole document, like setting the
fragListBuilder to SingleFragListBuilder and the maxAnalyzedChars setting
you've already mentioned:

https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters#hl.fragsize

Because full document highlighting is so different from highlighting
snippets in a result list you'll want to configure two different
highlighters: One for snippets and one for the full document.

The other thing you need to know is that performance in highlighting is an
active area of development. Right now the top docs in the current result
list are calculated completely separate from the snippets (highlighting),
which can lead to problems when the most relevant snippets are later in the
document.

What most people do is compromise by making the result list fast but
inaccurate, and having the full-document highlight be accurate but slower.


Hope that helps,
-Scott
