Elasticsearch: [filtered] request does not support [highlight]

Question

I am new to Elasticsearch. I have a filtered query as shown below.

{ "query": { "filtered" : { "query" : { "term" : { "title" : "crime" } }, "highlight" : { "fields" : { "title" : {} } }, "filter" : { "term" : { "year" : 1961 } } } } } 

When I tried this request and got an error:

 [filtered] query does not support [highlight] 

Is filtered query support highlighted? If not, how can I achieve filters in the query? I have to use filters.

Thank you and welcome!

The "highlight" parameter should go at the same level as the "query" parameter, and not built into it. In your case, it should look something like this:

 { "query": { "filtered" : { "query" : { "term" : { "title" : "crime" } }, "filter" : { "term" : { "year" : 1961 } } } }, "highlight" : { "fields" : { "title" : {} } } }
