Yes I think you're right. On reading the "lucene in action" chapted on
highlighting I found it squirreled in the middle of the text. I get the
feeling that whilst I have so far found query parser to be the primary
method of building queries that this is not ht eprimary method used by other people. Otherwise I would have expected to see the first example in the book use query parser. So what I'm not quite sure is how come the norm is using
the direct queries.

Highlighting and QueryParser aren't related. How you build or generate the Query object is irrelevant to the Highlighter.

It is true that in my applications, use of QueryParser is only a small piece of how the Query gets built and in one project I've created an entirely different and custom expression parser (for legacy syntax compatibility reasons, as well as to support sophisticated SpanQuery constructions).

I believe the first example in Lucene in Action does use QueryParser, the Searcher.java code in Chapter 1.
