Thanx guyz for your prompt replies. >>When you want to display relevant text for a search >>result, find the file on disk, and pass it through the Lucene >>Highlighter (see the Lucene sandbox).
A nice suggestion but again as i'm indexing mails my Lucene Document has fields like "Sender", "Subject", and "Content". Feeding the entire mail from disk will also include meta-data which i need to exclude. OR If i extract the subject, content etc concating them as a string, and then feed it to the highlighter it should work rite??? -- - Andy
