# Highlight

The highlighting options to use.

NOTE: If you use field restrictions with the query, only terms in the specified fields are highlighted.

You can use one or more of the following options:

NOTE: You must not combine the `Terms` option with the `Sentences` option, or the `SummarySentences` option with the `SummaryTerms` option.

- `Sentences`. Highlight the sentences that contain link terms and occur in HighlightType fields.

- `Terms`. Highlight all the link terms that occur in HighlightType fields.

- `Proximity`. Highlight matching proximity segments that occur in HighlightType fields. For example, it highlights instances of query terms only when they match a proximity expression in the Links parameter. You can use this option only when you have set Boolean to `True`.

- `Simple`. Indicate whether any of the submitted text would be highlighted, but do not highlight the text. You can use this option to determine which piece of text the query matched.

Separate multiple options with plus symbols. There must be no space before or after a plus symbol.
