Maybe a new highlighter with no attempt at summarising could more easily address phrase support for small pieces of content. It will always be hard to faithfully represent all possible query match logic - especially if there are NOTs, ANDs and ORs mixed in with all the term proximity logic e.g. NotNear. Some compromise is required. I did suggest that spans maybe a better basis for highlighting than terms and pointed at some existing code to get you along this path - see here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lucene-user&m=112496111224218&w=2

Had not explored the link yet. That is the code I found and am using. It will not extract spans in all cases then? I tried some basic tests and it seemed to work great...I implemented a simple highlighter that does not deal with highlighting overlap. I assume now that a complicated query will not properly be extracted then? I guess I have some testing to do.
