Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-4518:
-----------------------------------------
I tend to agree with Oliver. I have done similar things because the frontend
lacks information here. I agree its non-trivial but we should provide it if we
can. For absolute correctness you likely need to reanalyze and intersect with
the automaton :/
> Suggesters: highlighting (explicit markup of user-typed portions vs.

> Key: LUCENE-4518
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4518
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Oliver Christ
>
> As a user, I would like the lookup result of the suggestion engine to contain
> information which allows me to distinguish the user-entered portion from the
> autocompleted portion of a suggestion. That information can then be used for
> e.g. highlighting.
> *Notes:*
> It's trivial if the suggestion engine only applies simple prefix search, as
> then the user-typed prefix is always a true prefix of the completion.
> However, it's non-trivial as soon as you use an AnalyzingSuggester, where the
> completion may (in extreme cases) be quite different from the user-provided
> input. As soon as case/diacritics folding, script adaptation (kanji/hiragana)
> come into play, the completion is no longer guaranteed to be an extension of
> the query. Since the caller of the suggestion engine (UI) generally does not
> know the implementation details, the required information needs to be passed
> in the LookupResult.
> *Discussion on java-user:*
> > I haven't found a simple solution for the highlighting yet,
> > particularly when using AnalyzingSuggester (where it's non-trivial).
> Mike McCandless:
> Ahh I see ... it is challenging in that case. Hmm. Maybe open an issue for
> this as well, so we can discuss/iterate?
