MateuxLucax opened a new issue, #13933: URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/13933
### Description Given the `BaseFragmentsBuilder` description: ```java ... /** * Base FragmentsBuilder implementation that supports colored pre/post tags and multivalued fields. * * <p>Uses {@link BoundaryScanner} to determine fragments. */ public abstract class BaseFragmentsBuilder implements FragmentsBuilder { ... ``` We assume that if we input a query and an array of pre and post tags, they will follow the same order, like: | *Query* | *Pre tag* | *Post tag* | |---|---|---| | A B | `<ab>` | `</ab>` | | C B | `<cb>` | `</cb>` | | C A | `<ca>` | `</ca>` | It will not tag in a ordered way as the current `BaseFragmentsBuilder` implementation gets tags in a almost random order: ```java protected String getPreTag(String[] preTags, int num) { int n = num % preTags.length; return preTags[n]; } ``` This is links back to [this issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2524). I already done some initial work to solve a problem where I work, but I would like to have a proper solution for Lucene. The root cause is in the `FieldQuery` `flatten`, `saveTerms` and `expand` methods. They do need to exist but they also mess the order of pre/post tags. The `termOrPhraseNumber` is used to get the preTag, and should follow the order of the queries. I will try to add a unit test that properly illustrates this problem as it is kinda complex. ### Version and environment details Lucene 3.0+ Any environment -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
