When searching a multiValued field, is it possible to know which of
the multiple fields the match was in?
For example if I have an index of documents, each of which has
multiple image captions stored in separate fields, I'd like to be
able to link from the search results to the caption in the original
document.
One possibility could be attaching metadata to a field, similar to
payloads for terms. At the moment all I can think of is adding
metadata inside the stored field and stripping that out when it's
indexed and displayed, but that's not ideal.
Actually on reflection all this would need would be for the
Highlighter to add a field to the response, saying which item of the
multiValued field the match was in. Is that possible?
