Hi,
I have the same problem.
This is useful when you try to extract the contexts (terms before and after) of
a certain term (for example).
I found a solution but it performs badly: when you try to retrieve those
contexts you have to re-tokenize the documents containing the given term (i.e.
"soccer") and you have to keep the before and after tokens using TokenStream
and the current position. Re-tokenizing could be ok on small files, but on
large files it induces a bad performance of the applications.
Any different solution is welcome.
Catalin.

I think this is a non-sense to try to find a term. In Lucene, you search with
a term, you are not trying to get some. Basically, in Lucene, you have a list
of term pointing on documents, not the reverse.
Maybe if you explain why you are trying to do that, we can find a better way
to do it.
