Hello thanks for the reply. I have played with Highlighter a little. I was hoping that it provided some sort of text position or pointer but it doesn't seem to. My understanding of the Highlighter is that it sends back a fragment of the text with search terms surrounded by configurable tags. Unless I'm missing something, which is certainly possible. What I would like is for it to return a position in the overall document that those terms are located. Does that make sense?
Is a possible solution (that seem a bit hackish) is to have highlighter return the entire doc (instead of just a fragment) and read through the doc for the highlight tags? Not sure how well that would work. -andy On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 11:59 AM, Digy <[email protected]> wrote: > Have you seen Highlighter.NET? > > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/lucene.net/trunk/C%23/contrib/Hig > hlighter.Net/ > > DIGY > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Schuler [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 7:45 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: get text pointer from hit or possibly highlighter > > 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.
