Note that the highlighting data is _not_ returned in the
<doc>
section of the response. Getting the whole document back is
probably
due to asking for all fields (coupled with having stored the
main
text field).
You can play with the highlighting in the admin ui. Besides
having a
few parameters directly present, the others can be added
directly to
the url for testing.
The minimum required for highlighting is:
1. hl=true
2. hl.fl=myfield
_If_ that field matches one of the query terms, you should
see
snippets in the generated response. EVen if not, you should
see a
<highlighting> section of the response (it will be
empty).
