We are trying to implement highlighting for wildcard (MultiTerm) queries.  This seems to work find with the regular highlighter but when we try to use the fastVectorHighlighter we don't see any results in the  highlighting section of the response.  Appended below are the parameters we are using.

query
<str name="q">ocr:tink*</str>
highlighting params:

<str name="hl.highlightMultiTerm">true</str>
<str name="hl.fragsize">200</str>
<str name="hl.useFastVectorHighlighter">true</str>
<str name="hl.snippets">200</str>
<str name="hl.fragmentsBuilder">colored</str>

It is the feature of FVH. FVH supports TermQuery, PhraseQuery, BooleanQuery and DisjunctionMaxQuery
and Query constructed by those queries.

Hi Koji,
Thank you for your reply.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand.  Are you saying that FVH supports MultiTerm highlighting?

Tom,

I'm sorry but FVH doesn't cover MultiTermQuery.

Just to check, does the field have termVectors="true" set?
I think it's required for FVH to work.

Hi Erick,

Thanks for asking, yes we have termVectors=true set:

<fieldType name="FullText" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" autoGeneratePhraseQueries="false" stored="true" termVectors="true" termPositions="true" termOffsets="true">

I guess I should also mention that highlighting works fine using the fastVectorHighLighter as long as we don't do a MultiTerm query.   For example see the query and results appended below (using the same hl parameters listed in the previous email)
