Interesting there is a parameter (hl.requireFieldMatch) about this but default value is false. Are you using some default highlighting parameters defined in solrconfig.xml? You can see them appending &echoParams=all Are field type of title and long_description the same? Maybe your browser cache is deceiving you?
