Determining individual Field matches within a SolrRequestHandler or SearchComponent

[Joshua Sumali]

Hi,

Is it possible to easily and programmatically determine whether one or more 
solr fields were a successful match within a SolrRequestHandler or 
SearchComponent?

The DebugComponent provides similar text output when debugging/explaining a 
query:

8.249506 = (MATCH) fieldWeight(attribution_en:leigh in 2313441)

Class org.apache.lucene.search.Explanation has an isMatch() - is there anything 
similar, but on a per-field basis?

I've dug through the solr and lucene source a bit, and it doesn't seem like 
this is available anywhere.

If this is the case, what's my next best option? Comparing the query text to 
the field(s) in question?

Thanks,
Josh

Did you try to append &debugQuery=on to get more information?
