Highlighting... is highlighting too many fields

[John Eberly <jo...@eberly.org>]

I currently have highlighting working, but when I search for

Query: "smith~ category_id:(1 OR 2 OR 3)"
Results: "name: Mr. John <em>Smith</em>, addresses: <em>1</em> Main St, NYC,
NY, 55<em>2</em>666"

Why does it show highlights on the addresses, when I specifically sent in a
query for category_id?  When I set hl.requireFieldMatch and
hl.usePhraseHighlighter to true, I get 0 results highlighted.

Any help greatly appreciated.

John

What is your defaultSearchField defined in schema.xml?
On what field are you highlighting? hl.fl=?

If query just 'smith~' and hl.requireFieldMatch=true aren't returning highlights it seems that your default search field and hl.fl are different.

you can try ?q=sameField:smith~&hl.requireFieldMatch=true&hl.fl=sameField
it should return highlights if the sameField is stored="true".

Thanks Ahmet,

Your second suggestion about using the filter query works.  Ideally I would
like to be able to use the first solution with hl.requireFieldMatch=true,
but I cannot seem to get it to work no matter what I do.

I changed the query to just 'smith~' and hl.requireFieldMatch=true and I get
results but no highlights.... :(

Althougth hl.usePhraseHighlighter is about PhraseQuery (and SpanQuery) 
hl.requireFieldMatch=true should work for your case.
When you set hl.requireFieldMatch to true, do you get result returned? But without highlighted? If yes I think your default operator is set to OR. Those results without highlights are coming from category_id:(1 OR 2 OR 3) part of your query.
Try "smith~ AND category_id:(1 OR 2 OR 3)" or alternatively you can use filter queries for structured fields (integer, string) like q=smith~&fq=category_id:(1 OR 2 OR 3)

Hope this helps.
