get terms by positions

[Renzo Scheffer]

Hi,

 

can anybody be so kind to tell me if it is possible to search a Term by its
position?

 

I search a term (for excample "soccer") and get back the DocId's and
positions as follows:

 

 

TermPositions termPos = reader.termPositions(new Term("contents","soccer"));

while(termPos.next()){

int freq = termPos.freq();

for(int i=0; i<freq; i++){

 

      int docNumber = termPos.doc();

      int position = termPos.nextPosition();

System.out.println("DocId: "+docNumber+"; Pos:"+position);

}

 

 

 

Output:

 

DocId: 0; Pos: 1

DocId: 0; Pos: 4

DocId: 0; Pos: 7

DocId: 1; Pos: 3

DocId: 1; Pos: 7

 

Now I try to get back terms, one position before/after "soccer". I
considered to take the 

Position and increase or decrease it. But I can't find a way to get back a
term, according to the given Position.

Can anybody help me? 

 

Thanks, Renzo
