Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4906:
-------------------------------------

Luca i dont think anyone is working on it.

I tried about a week ago to do this, but I couldn't figure out how to do it 
without making the api really ugly: I think thats the challenging part.

Since doing this custom formatting is an expert thing, I think its important 
that its done in such a way that simple ordinary highlighting use cases don't 
become more complicated.

> For example, in a server, I may want to render the highlight result to 
> JsonObject to send back to the front-end. Today since we render to string, I 
> have to render to JSON string and then re-parse to JsonObject, which is 
> inefficient...
> Or, if (Rob's idea:) we make a query that's like MoreLikeThis but it pulls 
> terms from snippets instead, so you get proximity-influenced salient/expanded 
> terms, then perhaps that renders to just an array of tokens or fragments or 
> something from each snippet.
