Return matches information even if there is no attributesToRetrieve

[curquiza]

Following the use case of this user, this might be interesting to consider returning the matches information, no matter how are the attributesToRetrieve.

Following meilisearch/meilisearch#1825

We should also consider the users that definitely don't want the information related to an attribute if they don't put it in attributesToRetrieve.

Thanks, @curquiza!

I think my problem is also related to this. Here is my use case:

I have a very long text attribute. I only want to retrieve a cropped version of this attribute if there is a match with the searched text. Because this very long text slows down the query response times. I have tried many different configurations (one example is below) but there seems to be not an easy solution. This also relates to this issue but can be a different suggestion issue as well.

{
  attributesToRetrieve: ['shortText'],
  attributesToHighlight: ['shortText', 'longText'],
  attributesToCrop = ['longText']
  cropLength = 10
  matches = true
}
