Highlighting not working when assigning a "min_similarity"?

[Timmel]

I am fiddling with fuzzy search in elasticsearch-0.20.6 and elasticsearch-0.90.1. I am using highlighting to help me tune the fuzzyness. The highlighting shows fine when I use fuzzy until I add "min_similarity". I use head to post and check the results.

Shows highlighting:

{
 "query": {
   "fuzzy": {
     "title": "bambi"
   }
 },
 "highlight": {
   "fields": {
     "title": {}
   }
 }

Doesn't show highlighting:

{
 "query": {
   "fuzzy": {
     "title": "bambi",
     "min_similarity": 0.8
   }
 },
 "highlight": {
   "fields": {
     "title": {}
   }
 }

Is this not possible or is it a bug?

This is a syntax error. Your query should look like this:

GET /_search
{
  "query": {
    "fuzzy": {
      "title": {
        "value": "bambi",
        "min_similarity": 0.8
      }
    }
  },
  "highlight": {
    "fields": {
      "title": {}
    }
  }
}

In current versions of ES, your previous query now throws an exception
