I am using hit-highlighting in azure search. It works fine but I want to fine tune it a bit.
Say, a field has the following value: "It uses period as the delimiter. If not, please clarify"
If I search for "please" I will get a highlight hit on that field, e.g.:
"If not, <em>
please</em>
clarify"
If I search for "period" I will get a highlight hit on that field, e.g.:
"It uses <em>
period</em>
as the delimiter."
After trying it with several examples it seems that it uses period (".") as a delimiter so that it doesn't return the whole field.
From another SO question (Hit Highlighting in Azure Search Service) it seems that I cannot configure azure search to return the whole field with all terms highlighted.
I want to ask:
- if this is really the case or more complex rules apply
- do I have any control of how the field is split for hit highlighting, e.g. change the delimiter to say "," or "\n"
Thanks in advance
