The MatchingFields field expression will return all fields from the search query that contributed to a match for the returned document. This is useful when the query is a large OR query across multiple fields and it is desired to know which fields from the query resulted in the match. NOTE: this is an expensive field expression to compute. It should not be applied unless the result will actually be used.
