Hi Mark, I know one large user (meaning: high query/highlight rates) of the current Highlighter and this user wasn't too happy with its performance. I don't know the details, other than it was inefficient. So now I'm wondering if you've benchmarked your Highlighter against that/current Highlighter to see not only which one is more accurate, but also which one is faster, and by how much?
Thanks, Otis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The highlighter is working great for me, but could really use some more banging on. If you have a need or an interest in a more accurate Highlighter, please give it a whirl and let me know how it went. Unlike most of the other alternate Lucene Highlighters, this one builds off the original contrib Highlighter so as to retain all of its goodness. http://myhardshadow.com/qsolreleases/lucene-highlighter-2.2.jar Example Usage IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(ramDir); Query query = QueryParser.parse("Kenne*", FIELD_NAME, analyzer); query = query.rewrite(reader); //required to expand search terms Hits hits = searcher.search(query); for (int i = 0; i < hits.length(); i++) { String text = hits.doc(i).get(FIELD_NAME); CachingTokenFilter tokenStream = new CachingTokenFilter(analyzer.tokenStream( FIELD_NAME, new StringReader(text))); Highlighter highlighter = new Highlighter(new SpanScorer(query, FIELD_NAME, tokenStream)); tokenStream.reset(); // Get 3 best fragments and seperate with a "..." String result = highlighter.getBestFragments(tokenStream, text, 3, "..."); System.out.println(result); } If you make a call to any of the getBestFragments() methods more than once, you must call reset() on the SpanScorer between each call. Pass null as the FIELD_NAME to ignore fields. If you want to Highlight the whole document, use a NullFragmenter. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
