What makes me attracted to these services are their hit highlighting[1] capabilities so you can show where the search query matches are. This is especially helpful in long documents but it appears in this case, the documents are just one-liners and the entire document is returned in the search results.

- Timothy055 6y agoGlad to see this mentioned! I worked on open sourcing the unified highlighter for Bloomberg along with Lucene/Solr committer David Smiley. It’s a very important feature for longer documents--in our case legal documents. We gave a presentation about it at Lucene/Solr Revolution in 2016.[1] [1] https://youtu.be/tv5qKDKW8kk https://youtu.be/tv5qKDKW8kk
