Term positions in the index are used for phrase query and span queries.
There is a separate concept called "term vectors" that maintains positions
as well. It is most useful for highlighting - you want to know exactly where
a term started and ended.

Subject: Use case for storing positions and offsets in index?
Can someone please tell me the usecase for storing term positions and
offsets
in the index?
I am trying to understand the difference between storing positions/offsets
vs indexing positions/offsets.
Thanks
