Why are all my Processor checkboxes disabled?

Hello @Nick Robillard,

The processors are disabled with purpose because they are messing the indexing and searching.
For example no need of tokenisers, string to lower and s.o. because the elasticsearch support this internally and when Drupal handle this it mess the Elasticsearch index.
This should become a feature request to enable the elasticsearch highlighting.
I will take a look and let you know what will be best to do here.
It could be something quick to do and if it is I will try to make it fast.
Thanks for digging into the module.

Best Regards.

This is what I'm talking about: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/se...

Hello @Nick Robillard,

Just a simple patch for enabling the Elasticsearch highlighting.
Needs more work but it will work for a simple case.

Be aware that if you are using a view and you are using "rendered entity" as formatter then the highlighting will not take effect. This should be true for any Search API backend btw if I'm not wrong but as far I saw in the code it should be like this.

Hi @Nick Robillard,

I didn't get any feedback about the patch. Did you have time to check it?

This seems to work, yet I cant get my excerpts to work.

We need also to handle the highlighting of the autocomplete.

What needs to be done is to enable the highlight processor for Elasticsearch.
Lets open separate issues if there are problems with the functionality in order to be more manageable. I will relate them to this one after that.

Hello,

I have a same problem with drupal 7. The checkbox (tokenizer, stopwords ..), in search api-> filters-> processeurs, are disabled.
I added an analyzer in elasticsearch.yml, but Drupal ignores this analyzer.

How to activate checkboxes in Drupal or use the mapping defined in the elasticsearch.yml ?

Thanks for your help :)
