Sorry to hear that didn't work! Let me ask a couple of questions... Have you tried the analyzer inside of the Admin Interface? It has helped me sort out a number of highlighting issues in the past. To access it, go to your Admin interface, select your core, then select Analysis from the list of options on the left. In the analyzer, enter the term you are indexing in the top left (in other words the term in the document you are indexing that you expect to get a hit on) and right input fields. Select the field that it is destined for (in your case that would be 'content'), then hit analyze. Helps if you have a big screen!
This will show you the impact of the various filter factories that you have engaged and their effect on whether or not a 'hit' is being generated. Hits are idietified by a very feint highlight. (PSST... Developers... It would be really cool if the highlight color were more visible or customizable... Thanks y'all) If it looks like you're getting hits, but not getting highlighting, then open up a new tab with the Admin's query interface. Same place on the left as the analyzer. Replace the "*:*" with your search term (assuming you already indexed your document) and if necessary you can put something in the FQ like "id:123456" to target a specific record. Did you get a hit? If no, then it's not highlighting that's the issue. If yes, then try dumping this in your address bar (using your URL/IP, search term, and core name of course. The fq= is an example) : http://[URL/IP]/solr/[CORE-NAME]/select?fq=id:123456&q="[SEARCH-TERM]" That will dump Solr's output to your browser where you can see exactly what is getting hit. Hope that helps! Let me know how it goes. Good luck. -Teague -----Original Message----- From: Evert R.

I configured the solrconf.xml and schema.xml exactly the way you did, only substituting the word 'documentText' per 'content' used by the techproducts sample, I reindex through : curl ' http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/update/extract?literal.id=pdf1&commit=true' -F "Emmanuel=@/home/solr/dados/teste/Emmanuel.pdf" with the same result.... no highlight in the respond as below: "highlighting": { "pdf1": {} } =( Really... do not know what to do... Thanks for your time, if you have any more suggestion where I could be missing something... please let me know.
