Apply highlight tags on numbers (not only strings)

[curquiza]

Currently, the search engine does not highlight the number in _formatted because it's impossible to add <em> tag around a number (not a string) in JSON.

A solution could be to return the raw document (so the number) but the "transformed" document (so with the number surrounded of the tag in a string) in _formatted.

Example:

{
    "hits": [
        {
            "book_id": 456,
            "title": "Le Petit Prince",
            "_formatted": {
                "book_id": "<em>4</em>56",
                "title": "Le Petit Prince"
            }
        }
    ],
    "offset": 0,
    "limit": 20,
    "processingTimeMs": 0,
    "query": "4"
}

Thanks for creating a discussion about this @curquiza. I thought of the same solution 🤓

This was added in v0.24, right? Should we close the conversation?

[curquiza]

yes it was added to v0.24.0 :) and it will work also for matches in v0.25.0

Thanks, @dichotommy, and @curquiza. I will close it when v0.25.0 will be released.
