I am doing search in the plain text field (HTML stripped) and display to user the original field, with HTML tags. Now how to do highlighting in such setup? Details: In schema:

{
      "name":   "content_ind",
      "type":   "string",
      "index":  true,
      "stem":   true
    },
    {
      "name":   "content",
      "type":   "string",
      "index":  false,
      "store":  true
    }

content_ind

- *ind*exed content, NO HTML.

content

- content "as is", WITH HTML Now I search in

content_ind

and display to user

content

. It works:

typesense.collections('test').documents().search({
            'q': searchTerm,
            ...
            'query_by': 'title, content_ind, tagsNames1, tagsNames2',
            'exclude_fields': 'content_ind'
        })

Now how to do highlighting? P.S. I think this documentation chapter https://typesense.org/docs/guide/tips-for-searching-common-types-of-data.html#html-content could be extended: would be great to read about highlighting for HTML Content.

Unless you have some logic on your side to augment the html with the hit itself, highlighting isn't exactly possible, as it will return the hit in terms of the raw contents of the html. You'd then have to get the highlight into the HTML yourself

I got it, thanks
