Have you considered storing the length of the field in a Payload?
You could do that during analysis.

Hi Anshum,

I am trying to implement a custom length normalization mechanism, which
needs the length of the field being searched.

Yes, the field is stored.

Thanks,
Lahiru.

Hi Lahiru,
A few questions here.
Why would you need that? Is the field stored?
