Peter Binkley commented on SOLR-380:
------------------------------------

Both these methods (page_* fields or unstored "contents" field) would make it 
difficult to discover from the search results which pages matched the query, 
though, wouldn't they? They would both need extra work to populate a structure 
like the "pages" and "hitpos" elements in the sample xml above. Would that 
extra work be more efficient than the document-map approach we've proposed 
above? 

The highlighting functionality is definitely the model to follow for handling 
term positions.

> "Paged-Text" FieldType for Solr
> A chance to dig into the guts of Solr. The problem: If we index a monograph 
> in Solr, there's no way to convert search results into page-level hits. The 
> solution: have a "paged-text" fieldtype which keeps track of page divisions 
> as it indexes, and reports page-level hits in the search results.
> The input would contain page milestones: <page id="234"/>. As Solr processed 
> the tokens (using its standard tokenizers and filters), it would concurrently 
> build a structural map of the item, indicating which term position marked the 
> beginning of which page: <page id="234" firstterm="14324"/>. This map would 
> be stored in an unindexed field in some efficient format.
> At search time, Solr would retrieve term positions for all hits that are 
> returned in the current request, and use the stored map to determine page ids 
> for each term position. The results would imitate the results for 
> highlighting, something like:
> <lst name="pages">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;<lst name="doc1">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                <int name="pageid">234</int>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                <int name="pageid">236</int>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        </lst>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        <lst name="doc2">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                <int name="pageid">19</int>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        </lst>
> </lst>
> <lst name="hitpos">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        <lst name="doc1">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                <lst name="234">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                        <int 
> name="pos">14325</int>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                </lst>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        </lst>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        ...
> </lst>
