I think you're still missing the critical bit. Highlighting is completely separate from searching. In other words, you can search on one field and highlight another. What field is searched is governed by the "qf" parameter when using edismax and by the the "df" parameter configured in your request handler in solrconfig.xml. These defaults are overridden when you do a "fielded search" like
q=content:nietava So this: q=content:nietava&hl=true&hl.fl=content is searching the "content" field. The word you're looking for isn't in the content field so naturally no docs are returned. And no highlighting either. This: q=nietava&hl=true&hl.fl=content is searching somewhere else, thus getting the hit. We already know that "nietava" is not in the content field because the first search failed. You need to find out what field is being matched (probably something like "text") and then try highlighting on _that_ field. Try adding "debug=query" to the URL and look at the "parsed_query" section of the return and you'll see what field(s) is/are actually being searched against. NOTE: The field you highlight on _must_ have stored="true" in schema.xml. As to why "nietava" isn't being found in the content field, probably you have some kind of analysis chain configured for that field that isn't searching as you expect. See the admin/analysis page for some insight into why that would be. The most frequent reason is that the field is a "string" type which is not broken up into words. Another possibility is that your analysis chain is leaving in the quotes or something similar. As James says, looking at admin/analysis is a good way to figure this out. I still strongly recommend you go from the stock techproducts example and get familiar with how Solr (and highlighting) work before jumping in and changing things. There are a number of ways things can be mis-configured and trying to change several things at once is a fine way to go mad. The admin UI>>schema browser is another way you can see what kind of terms are _actually_ in your index in a particular field.
