Alan Woodward commented on LUCENE-8286:
---------------------------------------
There's an API mismatch in how offsets are retrieved, per-field in the
UnifiedHighlighter and per-leafreader in the Matches API, which means that (for
example) we can't easily use term vectors for a single field with Matches. So
that will need to be resolved somehow.
> UnifiedHighlighter should support the new Weight.matches API for better match
> accuracy

> Key: LUCENE-8286
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8286
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: modules/highlighter
> Reporter: David Smiley
> Priority: Major
>
> The new Weight.matches() API should allow the UnifiedHighlighter to more
> accurately highlight some BooleanQuery patterns correctly -- see LUCENE-7903.
> In addition, this API should make the job of highlighting easier, reducing
> the LOC and related complexities, especially the UH's PhraseHelper. Note:
> reducing/removing PhraseHelper is not a near-term goal since Weight.matches
> is experimental and incomplete, and perhaps we'll discover some gaps in
> flexibility/functionality.
> This issue should introduce a new UnifiedHighlighter.HighlightFlag enum
> option for this method of highlighting. Perhaps call it {{WEIGHT_MATCHES}}?
> Longer term it could go away and it'll be implied if you specify enum values
> for PHRASES & MULTI_TERM_QUERY?
