Thank you very much @Michael. I googled and didn't find much but I grabbed the book LIA 2nd Edn and went through that and found a very good example in Sec8.7 and that helped me solve the problem. Now I'm able to do highlighting for english texts but for non-english text no luck yet. I've posted new mails regarding the same[dont want to do cossposting]. If possible please have a look. And yes I must thank you and other authors for the wonderful book called LIA. Once I went thru this book I got cleared a lot many things, really very nice book. Surprisingly there is not much information on the net regarding the advanced features of lucene all of which are clearly explained in this book with examples.
Thank you. KK.
