Highlighter: Option for target number of characters output
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-3114
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3114
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: highlighter
            Reporter: Jan Høydahl


Often you want the dynamic teaser to be about the same visual size for each 
article in the result list. Google's web search for instance will display 2 
lines of teaser, whether there are one or three snippets.

In Solr you can control {{hl.snippets}} and {{hl.fragSize}}, but not the 
resulting total size. If you have three snippets matching, the teaser will be 
three times as big as for documents with one snippet matching.

I propose a parameter {{hl.targetSize}} as an alternative to {{hl.fragsize}}, 
which controls the total number of characters to output in the teaser. So 
instead of saying {{&hl.snippets=3&hl.fragSize=100}} giving teasers sized 
between 100-300 characters, you would say {{&hl.snippets=3&hl.targetSize=300}} 
effectively resulting in the same output as long as there are three snippets, 
but if there is only one, its fragSize would be adjusted to 300.
