Chris,
Thanks, you're exactly right. I think the Search Component may be the
right way to go. I will definitely look into this shortly - if it works
out, is this something that should be 'donated' if at all possible?

analysis.jsp doesn't deal with the index, it just applies the appropriate
analizer to input text to tell you what would be indexed.
from what I gather, you want the "meat" of highlighting, but you dont'
want any actually highlighting to take place -- you want something that
just figures out what offsets in the orriginal string the terms to be
highlighted were, and then return those offset numbers, correct?
I would imagine the easiest way to implement this would be to write a
highlighter that doesn't markup the orriginal string at all ... just
returns some easy to parse metadata about the term and the offset where it
was found in the orriginal string.
if it is implemented as an actual Highlighter, it can be used as a plugin
(i think .. we have configs for that already, right?) that the existing
Highlighting component would load, but you are a little limited in the
structure of hte metadata you can return. Alternately you can implement
your own component as ryan mentioned, and then put arbitrary data in the
response (which will be renderedappropriately by whichever response writer
you use -- json, xml, whatever)
