Re: highlighting
Yeah, I thought about using markers, but then I'd have to search the the
text for the markers to determine the locations. This is a clunky way
of getting the results I want, and it would save two steps if Solr
merely had an option to return a start/length array (of what should be
highlighted) in the original string rather than returning an altered
string with tags inserted.

In the end, in most open source projects, people implement that which
they need themselves, and offer it back to the community in the hope
that it will help others too.
If you need this, then I'd encourage you to look at the source
highlighting component and see if you can see how it might be done.
It would then be great to put your thoughts and ideas into a JIRA
ticket.

Hi everyone!
Pardon if it's not proper etiquette to chime in, but that feature would solve some issues I have with my app for the same reason. We are using markers now and it is very clunky - particularly with phrases and certain special characters. I would love to see this feature too Mark! For what it's worth - up vote. Thanks!
Cheers!

Hi Mark,
I think I saw similar requirement recently in mailing list. The feature sounds reasonable to me.

JIRA can be used for the purpose, but there is no guarantee that the feature is implemented. :(
