Hi David, Thanks for filing this issue. The classic non-weightMatcher mode works well for us right now. Yes, we are using the POSTINGS mode for most of the fields although explicitly mentioning it gives an error since not all fields are indexed with offsets. So I guess the highlighter is picking the right choice for each field. Here is the test with hl.offsetSource=ANALYSIS and hl.weightMatches=false that you requested.
hl.offsetSource=ANALYSIS&hl.weightMatches=false (340 ms) The above is thus better than the original highlighter. I'll also try and create that PR soon.
