get text pointer from hit or possibly highlighter

[Andrew Schuler]

I've been doing some research trying to find out about getting a text
position pointer for hits and this list is my last hope. If I have a (rather
long) text document indexed and I get a hit on said document but the search
term shows up near the end of the doc it would be nice to be able to know
the position of the hit inside the doc itself. In .NET I'm thinking of
something like a TextPointer. Does anyone know of a clever way to do this
with Lucene.Net?
