Hello Solr users and devs! Is there a way to limit number of rows to which highlighting applies? I don't see any "hl.rows" or similar parameter description, so it looks like I need to enhance HighlightComponent to enable that. If it is not possible currently, do you think it's worth adding such possibility?
JFI my case, when I need this: I display on results page 20, 10 or 5 rows only, but I need much more rows (100-500) to display additional data on the same page. Queries could be very complex and their execution time (QueryComponent) is quite big. So I do want to fetch things via single request. However, I noticed that with increasing number of rows, time spent in HighlightComponent increases dramatically. For those additional hundreds of rows I don't need highlighting at all. Actually, *ideally* it would be great to have the ability to specify fields returned for those extra rows as well. So I tend to think that adding this features should not be based on changing HighlightComponent behaviour, but changing QueryComponent or even "bigger" part somehow so that Solr query accepts specifying extra group(s) of rows for fetching along with params for them (which not influence the searching process, like formatting/highlighting, fields to return, etc.). Thus, we could execute *one* search query and fetch different data for different purposes. Does this all make sense to you guys?
