That's not the problem (or at least it's not a general problem). I just tried this with the example (and latest dev version of Solr) using the "cat" field (unstemmed) and the "features" field (stemmed), and both were highlighted at the same time as expected. I even put in "Joe Bloggs", verified that it was searching for "Bloggs" in the cat field and "blogg" in the features field. -Yonik
