We're trying to optimize our search requests by making a single bulk search, so we're trying to use Searchkick.multi_search
. However, it only returns Searchkick::Query
with the results populated in a results
attribute, as a regular Array
.
Then, now if I try results.with_highlights...
it fails with
undefined method `with_highlights' for #<Array:0x000055a82a7440f0>
Or if I try on the search_query.with_highlights
it fails with
undefined method `with_highlights' for #<Searchkick::Query:0x00007f47c5d0cde8>
How can I get the highlights when using multi_search
?

Got it!
After diving into the Searchkick codebase and checking the Searchkick::Query
implementation, discovered that the execute
method is what I need.
def execute
@execute ||= begin
begin
response = execute_search
if retry_misspellings?(response)
prepare
response = execute_search
end
rescue => e # TODO rescue type
handle_error(e)
end
handle_response(response)
end
end
handle_response(response)
is exactly what we need for making with_highlights
work.
Then my final implementation ended up being something like the following:
groups = Group.search(query, execute: false)
users = User.search(query, execute: false)
Searchkick.multi_search([groups, users])
# execute here won't do any additional requests as it's already cached in an instance variable @execute
highlighted_groups_results = groups.execute.with_highlights(...
