This leaves users guessing/confused because their queries are returning unexpected results. 2)Highlighting makes the issue more visible when the only term highlighted is the alias and you were not searching for it. If the alias is included in the "all" field you are forcing compass users to spend time debugging an issue that is very visible. You can included by default make the documentation for this feature requires clear details about the configuration and behavior.

I like software that does just the minimum on out-of-the-box, but can be configured to do a variety of things depending on the need.

Also, as long as I can use "alias:customer" one still has all the control in an intuitive way. If alias is included in the all property it's less intuitive to separate the data from the meta data ("customer -alias:customer" ?)

I didn't get it. Shay, do you think you could give me a simple example? I didn’t get it.
