next() returns a boolean as to whether there is a valid entry, so you need to
check that. You may not actually have a match for that term.

What does your Analysis process look like? Many of Lucene's analysis pieces
don't bother setting type. Have you looked at the index with Luke? That
should show you the payloads. Also, have a look at the SpanTermQuery. You can
use the Spans object to step directly through the position matches and get the
payloads, if they are available.
