Hi, Chris, I rewrite the prefix wildcard query consult* to (consult consult?*), it works with highlighting. Do you think it's a possible solution? Could you explain a little bit why put a "?" before "*" won't crash solr if matching a lot of terms?
Thanks Xuesong In the trunk (soon to be Solr 1.2) Mike fixed that so the query is "rewritten" to it's expanded form before highlighting is done ... this works great for true wild card queries (ie: cons*t* or cons?lt*) but for prefix queries Solr has an optimization ofr Prefix queries (ie: consult*) to reduce the likely hood of Solr crashing if the prefix matches a lot of terms ... unfortunately this breaks highlighting of prefix queries, and no one has implemented a solution yet... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-195 -Hoss
