This is my first look at Lucene and I am sure this must be a common problem.
I have managed to index all my content and get results from queries but the
question is how do I highlight the matches in a document?  I mean I have
some HTML documents and then I need to display somehow the occurrences
within those documents that match the query.

If the query was a single word then the problem is quite easy but when you
consider that the query can be complex and contain wildcards and compound
expressions, how can I know which words or partial words within the document
are the reasons for the document being returned as a match?

Lucene do not only search documents but also highlight matched terms in the 
documents for you.

Please look at:
