Your fields are all of string type. String fields aren't tokenized or analyzed, so you have to match the entire text of those fields to actually get a match. Try the following:
/select/?q=firstname:Kathryn&hl=on&hl.fl=firstname The reason you're seeing results with just q=students, but not q=synopsis:students is because you're copying the synopsis field into your field named 'text', which is of type 'text', which does get tokenized and analyzed, and 'text' is your default search field. The reason you don't see any highlights with the following query is because your 'text' field isn't stored. select/?q=text:students&hl=on&hl.fl=text David Snelling-2 wrote: > > Hmmm.
