Solr result offsets

["Owens, Martin" <Ma...@merrillcorp.com>]

Hello again,

So I've been concentrating on hacking the Util/Highlighting.java to see if I could get it to output the results offsets I need to do the highlighting I need. It turns out that this method requires that the field be stored as well as indexed. I would like to be able to just set termOffsets and termPositions and have that data returned to me when I do a specific kind of search.

I ended up getting very confused about the Request Handler plugin that I'm sure will be the solution in the end; It just seems to want the search to be performed again for no good reason, surely the term offsets are returned when a search is done on a field with that data available?

Best Regards, Martin Owens

Nope.
That data isn't even stored in the index unless you store termvectors
with that info... and even in that case the info is more like a stored
field (not accessed, utilized, or available during a search).
