Thank you both for your responses. However, I am not familiar enough with Solr and even not with Lucene. So, at the moment, I have no real idea of what payloads are (I can't even translate this word...). The manual says something about "metadata" - but there is nothing said about what metadata they mean. I think that - looking at my little experiences with Lucene and Solr - it would be a better idea to firstly read some stuff like "Lucene in Action", before tryring to customize (or contribute to) Lucene/Solr at such a level.
Do they currently work on the tickets? It seems like there was no more time to do so?? Last but not least: I want to add something productive to my question: The paper that maybe describes the solution for my problem... http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_0_1/fileformats.html#Positions To quote: PositionDelta is, if payloads are disabled for the term's field, the difference between the position of the current occurrence in the document and the previous occurrence (or zero, if this is the first occurrence in this document). If I could retrive the given information, this would be great - even if it forces me to iterate over the document where the term occurs. Lucene's TermPositions-Class seems to be a good place to start, doesn't it??? What do you think? [1] Integrating some Lucene-based work to Solr is another question...I think one needs to have a map, where one can see which class is usually called by which class, but that is really another topic :).
