Getting to know the field on which query was hit

Question

Using Elasticsearch through Searchkick.

My documents look something like this:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("54f8672f258f83ac4e7783e5"),
    "n" : "Figth Club",
    "dst" : "video",
    "detail" : {
        est: "El club de la lucha",
        ent: "Figth club",
        hut: "Harcosok klubja"
    }
}

My Item model:

class Item
 include Mongoid::Document
 searchkick

 def search_data
        {
            n: n,
            est: detail.est,
            ent: detail.ent,
            hut: detail.hut,
        }
 end

end

The search query would look something like:

Item.search(query, fields: [:n, :est, :ent, :hut], limit: 10).to_a

I would like to know what field the query was found on. For example, if query="El club de la lucha" I want to know that detail.est is the fields where it has been found on. Is that possible?

What you need is to highlight the results that match your search. Please take a look at the offered api. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-highlighting.html

Your query should look like this.

{
    "query" : {...},
    "highlight" : {
        "fields" : {
             "_all" : {}
        }
    }
}
