I'm playing with this package:

http://home.clara.net/markharwood/lucene/highlight.htm

Trying to do hit highlighting. This implementation uses another Analyzer to find the positions for the result terms.

This seems that it's very inefficient since lucene already knows the frequency and position of given terms in the index.

My question is whether it's hard to find a TermPosition for a given term in a given document rather than the whole index.

IndexReader.termPositions( Term term ) is term specific not term and document specific.

Also it seems that after all this time that Lucene should have efficient hit highlighting as a standard package. Is there any interest in seeing a contribution in the sandbox for this if it uses the index positions?
