Thanks Mike, I tried using dismax and it seems working. The only problem is I could not use wildcard in the query string if I specify qt=dismax.
I have a default search field called TITLE(TextField), This one returns all engineer whose TITLE starts with engin: /?q=engin* This one does not return anything: /?q=engin*&qt=dismax Do you know what is the problem?

As Chris mentioned, I'm not sure how Solr could "know" that you want to highlight those fields, given that you aren't even searching them. One option is to search those fields directly, using dismax. In that case, the highlight fields will be picked up automatically. -Mike
