: but I want solr to return me not only the best section but the best sections : (that I precise the number my self ) : at first I thought that hl.snippet=<number> is suitable to generate best : sections of text but I noticed that this parameter has no effect on the : result of highlighting, even using it on per field like this:
note the documentation for hl.snippets ... http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters#head-23ecd5061bc2c86a561f85dc1303979fe614b956 The maximum number of highlighted snippets to generate per field. Note: it is possible for any number of snippets from zero to this value to be generated. I'm not positive, but i believe setting hl.mergeContiguous=false (new param in trunk) may help ... but it doesn't change the fact that ify ou only have one match, it can't geneate 3 snippets. : the other question is why there is similar classes (HighlightingUtils.class : and the GapFragmenter.class) with different name and which one is : used:confused: note that HighlightingUtils is deprecated. -Hoss
