: how could I have the highlighting component return only the terms that were : matched, without any surrounding text ?
I'm not a Highlighter expert, but this is somethign that certainly *sounds* like it should be easy. I took a shot at it and this is hte best i could come up with... http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=solr&hl.simple.pre=%20&hl.simple.post=%20&fl=id&hl=true&hl.snippets=1000&hl.fragmenter=regex&hl.regex.pattern=^\S%2B%24&hl.fragsize=1&hl.regex.slop=1000.0 ...however the fragments still wind up wider then it seems like they should based on the regex & slop. I have no idea why. I've seen enough people with this request htat it seems like there should be a built in fragmenter/formatter option for it in Solr, so i opened a feature request... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2095 -Hoss -- http://lucenerevolution.org/ ...
