: Is there a way for solr to return only the frequency and position of a : paticular word back to client?
I don't think so. It would probably be relatively straight forward to add to TermVectorComponent -- i don't know that it would save any *time* (i tihnk it would still have to process all the terms to get all the positions for the one term you care about) but it would certainly reduce the data sent over the wire. The other option you may wnat to consider is a custom Highligher components (i think you would need a fragmenter and a formatter) that just paid attention to the positions and returned them instead of marking up the text. -Hoss
