             Summary: PostingsHighlighter should score only with 
within-document statistics
                 Key: LUCENE-4648
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4648
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: modules/other
    Affects Versions: 4.1
            Reporter: Robert Muir


PostingsHighlighter (in sandbox) treats documents to be highlighted as 
collections of small documents (snippets).

But (like the other highlighters), it uses collection-wide stats to score the 
snippets. It actually calls the indexsearcher method which might even result in 
a distributed call. I don't think its worth it to do all this. It means we have 
to reseek to all terms across all segments at the minimum, and it means 
snippets change over time and so on.

I think its good enough to only use within-document stats. And it might speed 
up highlighting.
