Thanks for this tip! This should be in the FAQ. Is there a way to get it in there? I can't edit the wiki, I think.

Subject: Search result snippets?

Folks,

I'm a Lucene newbie, and I've been searching awhile today to answer this question. Googled, read Lucene FAQ, looked at Javadoc for Document and Hits, etc.

How would you implement "snippets" with Lucene? A snippet is some text around parts of the text that caused a match, with the search matches in bold. For example, the supporting text in Google searches. A snippet is NOT a document summary, which has a FAQ entry and someone answered about on this email list.

I can store the full text in Lucene, but then when I get the match back, it seems as if I'd have to reimplement the query matcher if I wanted to know which things matched.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dan
