About Highlighting

By default when searching with a prefix handler, the matching terms are only highlighted in the hit meta of the same name.

Using the title: Prefix Handler, Matches are only highlighted in the Title Text.

You can, however, associate extra prefix handlers and facets for highlighting matching terms.

This is the case of the title hit meta, which is pre-configured with additional prefix handlers. This means that matching terms are highlighted in a document’s title when:

• Searching with the title: prefix handler. This is the default behavior described above.

• Searching with one of these prefix handlers: text:, soundslike:, or spellslike:. These are specified in the title hit meta setup as extra prefix handlers.

  Using the text: Prefix Handler, which is an extra Prefix Handler for the title Hit Meta, Matches are highlighted in the Title, as well as in the Summary Text.
  
  

In specific use cases, you may want to disable the highlighting and the summary for a specific node of your query only. In other words, you want the highlighting/summary to be activated for the overall query and deactivated for a subpart of it.

This can be specified in both UQL and ELLQL languages by appending the {hl=0} parameter to the node that must not be highlighted. For example, to highlight New York but not city in the UQL query New York city, we can enter the following query: New York city{hl=0}
