Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-8229:
-------------------------------------
bq. The ability to find out exactly what a query has matched on is a fairly
frequent feature request
I confirm the need for this -- we have custom highlighters and they're way too
complex because of the need to decompose each and every query into match ranges.
> Add a method to Weight to retrieve matches for a single document

> The ability to find out exactly what a query has matched on is a fairly
> frequent feature request, and would also make highlighters much easier to
> implement. There have been a few attempts at doing this, including adding
> positions to Scorers, or re-writing queries as Spans, but these all either
> compromise general performance or involve up-front knowledge of all queries.
> Instead, I propose adding a method to Weight that exposes an iterator over
> matches in a particular document and field. It should be used in a similar
> manner to explain() - ie, just for TopDocs, not as part of the scoring loop,
> which relieves some of the pressure on performance.
