Highlight - SimpleSpanFragment

[Radha Sreedharan <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am using *SimpleSpanFragment *to find the words a few positions around the
match.

I am specifying the number of characters, which is the second parameter of
the *SimpleSpanFragment *constructor .

However, it always gives the words to the right of the match and does not
give me the words to the left. ( I need both sides ie around the match ).

On searching through the existing material on the forum, I can gather that
getting the words around the match is possible. But, the examples I saw were
for SimpleFragmenter

Is the issue because I am using *SimpleSpanFragment ?  *Why shouldnt it work
for *SimpleSpanFragment  ?
*
Any help will be deeply appreciated..*
*
Regards,
Radha

Currently I am following a long drawn approach where
1) I find index of the matching text in the original
2) For a list of words to the left of index and to the right of index+length
of matching text
3) Then a pick some words from the 1st list and prepend to my  matching text
text and from my second list and append to my  matching text


However I really feel that I am doing something redundant and that Lucene
should be returning me  the matching text !!!

Pls Do help me out in this .
