> It would be interesting to access actual characters offset information when parsing text-based files (I don't know if it's interesting/usable/doable for binary formats...).
> If I use tika for parsing HTML and inject parsed strings into lucene, I'm not able to tell to the lucene analyzer where is the actual character in the original input.
> If tika expose this information It will permit to use unmodified lucene analyzers behind tika and implement for example pretty highlighting in search result (see google cache view).
> With new Lucene Attribute API it could be fairly easy to provide a sort of TikaOffsetRectifierTokenFilter in lucene contrib and use a stack like tika -> unmodified lucene analyzer -> tika offset correction.
