Another one ... anyone has a few examples of how they integrated highlights? Seems very cumbersome at this stage to be fair. I have a full blown result in the search overview, with the bigger dataset as above, but to replace fields/data if/when there is a hit seems weird. Isn't there a possibility to add the highlight in the actual returned field, or at least a reference towards it? @Kishore Nallan @Jason Bosco 🤔

Typesense returns

highlights

for each found hit, you can see it in the example response

I would like it in the document @Dima, well aware it returns a highlights object, but if you have multiple fields you could have a possible hit on, it's cumbersome to code all kinds of defensiveness in there just in case the field you want to show doesn't contain a highlight. It's like a mix and match puzzle currently.

Could you elaborate on the cumbersome-ness? I usually do

hit.highlight.fieldX?.value || hit.document.fieldX

in JS for eg to check if a highlight exists for a field, if not fallback to the unhighlighted field

I'll try it that way @Jason Bosco thanks for the suggestion. I'll get back to you, on first sight it seemed the highlight structure is slightly different than the actual document fields.

There is an older

highlights

key in the response which has a different structure (we’ll be deprecating it in a future version, but just keeping it around for backward compatibility). Instead you want to use the new

highlight

(singular) key (as of v0.24.1) which should be much easier to parse
