Hi
Lucene can store the original text of the document. You make the lucene fields to do what you need. Have a look at the apidocs for Field.Store and you'll see that you've got three choices: Yes, No or Compress. For your display snapshots, have a look at the lucene highlighter package. And all newcomers to Lucene could do a lot worse than getting hold of a copy of Lucene in Action. Somewhat out of date but the principles are still valid. -- Ian.
