Highlight for semantic search

[rachlllg]

Describe the issue.

Currently we only highlight the keyword match if the user submits a hybrid query, it would be nice to also have highlights for the semantic matches, perhaps a lighter color highlight for the semantic matches and a darker color highlight for the keyword matches.

What type of issue is this?

That approach sounds good, but does Elastic tell us what the semantic matches are?

[rachlllg]

The semantic matches are the "snippet" returned by the API, these are the chunk of opinion text returned by semantic search.

[rachlllg]

So on the front end, I think it would look like something like below, assume the yellow highlight is the "snippet" returned by semantic search & the keyword query in the hybrid search is "appellate". (of course with different colors)

[mlissner]

Are you saying this would highlight on the opinion URLs or in the search URLs?

[rachlllg]

On the search home, currently when we search for a keyword, the keyword is highlighted in the returned list of opinions. Once the front end for semantic search is ready, I imagine we will have something similar, except the "preview" right under the case name would be a bit bigger, and the snippet that's matched would be highlighted.
