# Quick Index Field Options

> When you create a Search index with the Quick Editor, you must set options for each field you add to the index. 

For more information about how to create a Search index with the Quick Editor, see [Create a Search Index with the Quick Editor](create-quick-index.md).

The following options are available for fields in the Quick Editor:

| Option                                        | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

To enable highlighting in search results, select **Support highlighting**. To turn off highlighting in search results, clear **Support highlighting**.

| Support sorting and faceting                  | To sort search results and use [facets](search-request-params.md#facets) with the field's contents, select **Support sorting and faceting**. To turn off sorting and facets, clear **Support sorting and faceting**.                                                                                                                        |
