You may want to take a look at SOLR-216 (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-216). I have been using this code in production for a while with minor modifications, and so far it has worked very well. It allows you to substitute underscores for dots, e.g. hl_fl=... The code, as posted in the JIRA, has a few minor issues with UTF-8 encoding, but these are easily fixed (see the comments, and also a recent post to the list). I probably will propose a revised version soon. Best regards - Christian
