Depending on what these guys are doing, here is another possibility if
TermOffests and Ronnie's highlighter are not an option.
If you are highlighting whole documents (NullFragmenter) or are not very
concerned about the fragments you get back, you can change the line in
the Highlighter at about 255:
tokenGroup.addToken(token,
fragmentScorer.getTokenScore(token));
TO:
float score = fragmentScorer.getTokenScore(token);
if(score > 0 ) {
tokenGroup.addToken(token, score);
}
This is not a full solution yet, but more of a hack. Fragmenters won't
be given the opportunity to start a new Fragment at every token
position...no problem if you are highlighting the whole document.
Essentially, instead of the the document being rebuilt from from the
source text using each individual token, it is rebuilt from the
highlighted tokens and the differences in offsets between them. No so
fragment happy without some Fragmenter handling changes.
On a collection of 5,000 documents, 300-900 tokens (weighted toward
300), this gave an improvement of 37-40%. I imagine the gains grow as
the document grows.
I am looking into making this a more general solution, but it's a great
quick hack for speed. It will also work with my SpanScorer that
correctly highlights Spans and PhraseQuerys.

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

Subject: Highlighter that works with phrase and span queries
I have been working on extending the Highlighter with a new Scorer that
correctly scores phrase and span queries. 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.
