Finding out which field caused the search hit

[makkhar <mk...@selectica.com>]

This question has been asked numerous times here. But the answer has never
been satisfactory. Can someone answer it full and final, please ?

If you get back a document as a search hit. How do you find out which field
in it matched ? Just the position of the field is sufficient !

-thanks

Short answer is you can't.  Longer answer, of course Lucene matches  
on a per-field basis, so it is determining those sorts of things  
during the search operation, but it does not keep that information  
handy along with the Hit.
