Lucene's storing functionality is just a simple storage mechanism. You can certainly and easily use your own storage mechanism. When you get your user created id back from Lucene due to a hit, just pass that id to your storage system to get the original text and then feed that to the Highlighter. Your storage system/code might be slower than Lucene, but I don't believe there is anything about Lucene's system that would give it an inside advantage.

Hello Folks,

I wanted to stay away from storing text in the indexes in order to keep them smaller. I have a requirement now though to provide highlighting and, more so, fragments of the content so they will be displayed on the UI.

Do you all prefer to store the text in the index to make this easier or would you suggest retrieving the text from the source after doing your search. From I can tell you need to run through the Hits anyway....

I am trying to keep the indexes as small as possible (they are still HUGE...but...) so storing fields is not really what I want to do. I will if it is the best and most efficient way to do so.

Thanks,
Michael
