The matches API is awesome. Use it. You can also get a rough glimpse into a superset of fields potentially matching the query via:
query.visit( new QueryVisitor() { @Override public boolean acceptField(String field) { affectedFields.add(field); return false; } }); https://lucene.apache.org/core/9_2_0/core/org/apache/lucene/search/Query.html#visit(org.apache.lucene.search.QueryVisitor) I'd go with the Matches API though.
