Hello,

in principle, Hit Highlighting can be implemented in Alfresco Search - on both search engines, Lucene and SOLR. There are some partners who have already implemented such a feature and Alfresco may provide Hit Highlighting based on SOLR out-of-the-box in a future Alfresco release (no concrete plans / timetable yet as far as I know).

Depending on the use case for which Alfresco is to be used, hit highlighting can be both - an important feature and a irrelevant gimmick.

Regards
Axel
