hl.preserveMulti returns the entire field even if no match

["Roth, Matthew" <ma...@yale.edu>]

Hi List,

I am using 7.7.3 and I have a query where I would like to use the original highlighter to look for matches in the text of the document, the title, or a multivalued tag field.

When I use hl.perserveMulti it returns the entire contents of the field because I also am using an hl.fragsize of zero. I can get around this by specifying f.TAG_NAME.hl.perserveMulti. This will only apply the perserveMutli rule to the multivalued TAG_NAME field. However, it will return the entire contents of the field even when no match. Is there a way to only return contents when there is a match to hl.q?

Ultimately, I can just ignore this and always grab the results of the highlighted field from the response. But I'd prefer to only do that if it contains a match.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Mathew,
    Did you try hl.requireFieldMatch=true; this would force Highlighter to
only generate highlights on matched field's


Thanks,
Abhishek
