The highlighter should be language independent. So long as you are consistent with your use of Analyzer between indexing/query/highlighting.
As for the most appropriate Analyzer to use for your local language, this is a seperate question - especially if you are using stop word and stemming filters. The StandardAnalyzer is designed for English since it used the StopFilter (English words only). -----Original Message----- From: KK <dioxide.softw...@gmail.com> Reply-To: java-user@lucene.apache.org To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: hit highlighting in lucene ? Date: Thu, 21 May 2009 17:51:13 +0530 Hi All, I was looking for various ways of implementing hit highlighting in Lucene and found some standard classes that does support highlighting like this *lucene*.apache.org/java/2_2_0/api/org/apache/*lucene*/search/*highlight* /package-summary.html ik but what i believe is that this is only for english or does it support other languages. I actually wanted to support highlighting for some non-english languages which I'm able to index and fetch using utf-8 encoding. So this means that if I want to have highlighting then I've to get the utf-8 query and look for the same in the result and add apt tags whereever required, it essentially boils down to implementing the standard highlighter. I think the standard highlighter also supports other languages. Correct me if i'm wrong. Due to my requirement constraints I'm using just simpleAnalyzer and we dont have tokenizers for these regional languages. Any other ideas of doing the same would be helpful as well.
