Journey to enable highlighting

[Spadez <ja...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

So I want to enable highlighting on my results. When I run the query like
this:

http://localhost:8080/solr/select?q=book&hl=true

I don't get any highlighted results. I am assuming that more is needed to
actually enable highlighting. Commented out at the bottom of my
solrconfig.xml is this:

*Default configuration in a requestHandler would look like:
       <arr name="components">
         <str>query</str>
         <str>facet</str>
         <str>mlt</str>
         <str>highlight</str>
         <str>stats</str>
         <str>debug</str>
       </arr>*

Is it right that to enable highlighting, I would need to uncomment out this
section, to leave just this shown?:

*Default configuration in a requestHandler would look like:
       <arr name="components">
           <str>highlight</str>
       </arr>*

Try explicitly setting the field(s) that you want to highlight.
To enable highlighting your field must me stored="true" 

See : http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FieldOptionsByUseCase
 
Examine other parameters : http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters

For example, sometimes you may need to increase hl.maxAnalyzedChars .

You do not need to change/edit <arr name="components"> section. highlighting component (and query, facet, mlt etc) is registered by default.
