I apologize if this was the wrong list, but I had asked a similar question
over there to no avail, so I figured it must be buried deep in the API, and
would be better for this list :)
I was thinking either the tokens or the entire field itself (not sure if
that is supported at all, I feel like I'm drinking from a firehose!). In
our case, certain documents will have certain fields attached, and will be
returned based on search criteria. We have specific highlighting
requirements, and I will have to rely on the actual offsets of those
matching fields (as opposed to using the built-in highlighting). Ideally,
I'd have the begin/end offset for each field that I return.
I could probably figure that out from the first and last token in the
field. It looks like analysis.jsp access the index directly to get the
information it needs. This is a possibility, but I was thinking if I could
get SOLR to return that information in the initial JSON, then I could save
a step and speed things up immensely.
Thanks in advance!

(maybe a better question for solr-user... but)
which offsets are you talking about? The tokens? Are you looking for
something like analysis.jsp or SOLR-477?

Hello,
I'm looking into returning the offsets for various fields I've created in
a JSON object. Is there some agreement why this isn't included to begin
with (is there some sort of architectural reason this is going to be very
hard?) Or does anyone have any suggestions on the 'cleanest' way to
implement it?
Thanks,
Steve
