Return the `highlight` on search

Open luizkowalski opened this issue 12 years ago • 3 comments

If you are indexing text, by example, with ElasticSearch, you can get a portion of the text where the search was found, using highlight, so that you can highlight content matching the query. Would be awesome if mongoid_fulltext could do the same. Is it possible?

Yes, for searching larger texts this would be awesome. :+1:

It's a valid feature request. It needs some thought about how it would be implemented in mongoid_fulltext. To be added to this gem it would need to leverage the database, ie. n-gram data stored has associated metadata that points directly to where the text is located in the text being searched, probably just start and end of the word.
