Highlighter: Option for target number of characters output
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-3114
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3114
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: highlighter
            Reporter: Jan Høydahl


Often you want the dynamic teaser to be about the same visual size for each article in the result list. Google's web search for instance will display 2 lines of teaser, whether there are one or three snippets.

In Solr you can control {{hl.snippets}} and {{hl.fragSize}}, but not the resulting total size. If you have three snippets matching, the teaser will be three times as big as for documents with one snippet matching.

I propose a parameter {{hl.targetSize}} as an alternative to {{hl.fragsize}}, which controls the total number of characters to output in the teaser. So instead of saying {{&hl.snippets=3&hl.fragSize=100}} giving teasers sized between 100-300 characters, you would say {{&hl.snippets=3&hl.targetSize=300}} effectively resulting in the same output as long as there are three snippets, but if there is only one, its fragSize would be adjusted to 300.
