MultiValued field: can I retrieve just one?

If I have a multiValued field, will it always return all items in the
array, or can I retrieve just those in the document with matching
text?

Thanks,
Jamie

The highlighting results will return fields with matching text, but 
there is not a way to limit some multivalued fields from the returned 
documents.

You always get all of them.  Lucene does not return to you which field
matches a query.
Features like highlighting re-do some work to figure out where matches occurred.
