Hi Abdul, I don't know what your log files look like -- how have you defined your Lucene document? The document is the only level of granularity available for returning hits in Lucene. Something you should look at, though, is Mark Harwood's Highlighter package, which is part of the Lucene Sandbox. This package can be used to break documents into fragments, to score those fragments based on a supplied query, and then to highlight the terms from the query. Below is a link to the API docs: http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/search/highlight/package-summary.html You can find a description of using this package in "Lucene in Action", in Section 8.7. The Highlighter distribution .jar is packed inside of lucene-2.0.0.zip, available from Apache mirrors: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/java/ Also, the JUnit tests are a good place to see how to use this package: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/contrib/highlighter/src/test/org/apache/lucene/search/highlight/HighlighterTest.java Hope it helps, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
