Description

Using the example data (as in "ant run-example") from the latest dev version, add the words "electronics" and "connector" to the features field of the first doc in ipod_other.xml. Now the following query:

http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=electronics&hl=true&hl.fl=features+cat

will show "electronics" highlighted in the features field but not in the cat field. If you search instead for "connector", it is highlighted in both.

This seems like a bug to me. A possible but not entirely satisfactory work-around would be to have the cat field copied into another field which is stemmed, and use that other field for highlighting (assuming the search is on the default search field, and not on cat).
