Customizing Snippets and Highlighting in Document Searches
TLDR bnfd wants to customize snippeting, highlighting and show multiple snippets in a search. Jason suggests using snippet_threshold, highlight_full_fields, opening a GitHub issue and breaking long documents into smaller parts.

highlight_full_fields to get the full field and then you could snippet on the client-sideJason

07:27 PMThat's correct.
> long document (let's say 20 pages) there are 10 occurrences of "foo" so I'd like to show 10 snippets for document1 instead of the whole document. Is this possible?
I guess I misunderstood your original ask. This is not possible at the moment. But for long documents, to keep search relevancy and speed good, I'd recommend breaking them up into say one paragraph per record.
That will also solve what you're looking to do indirectly, because then you can show 10 different snippets, 1 snippet from each document (paragraph)
