I'm not sure you can, since all the interfaces I use alter the increment
between successive terms, but I'll be the first to admit that there are many
nooks and crannies that I don't know about... But I suspect that a negative
increment is not supported intentionally....

But I really doubt you want to do this due to the consequences. Consider in
your example the terms would have the following offsets
first 0
bit 1
second 0
part 1
third 0
section 1

Now think about a proximity query "first section"~1. This would produce a
hit because you've changed the whole sense of what offsets mean. Is this
really a good thing?

I suspect that the guys who really know things about the internals could
provide some good suggestions if you gave them a better idea of what it is
you're trying to accomplish and why you think SpanFirst helps accomplish
that....

Hi,

I have a field to which I add several bits of information, e.g.

doc.add(new Field("x", "first bit"));
doc.add(new Field("x", "second part"));
doc.add(new Field("x", "third section"));

I am using SpanFirstQuery to search them with something like:

while...
   SpanTermQuery stquery = new SpanTermQuery(new Term("x",
termStr[incFactor]));
   query = new SpanFirstQuery(stquery, incFactor);
   incFactor++

but a search for

"first", span pos 1
"bit", span pos 2

gets a match, but

"second", span pos 1
"part", span pos 2

fails.  How can I get the first term position for each word in each Field
added
to the document for the same field name to be 1, so that the SpanFirst
works.
