OK, so you've ruled out one possible cause. Progress! But if you're getting NPE on line 274 and line 274 reads
TermPositionVector tpv = (TermPositionVector)reader.getTermFreqVector(hits[i].doc,"contents"); then something is null where it shouldn't be. Rule out everything you can and what is left should be the culprit. Basic low-tech debugging, step by step. If you really can't figure it out, post the smallest possible totally self-contained unit test or program that demonstrates the problem. And tell us which version of lucene you are using. -- Ian.
