As luck would have it, I've done something very similar. What I had to do is index a special token at the end of each page. Then I could get the term offsets for each page....
Then I used one of the SpanQuery.getSpans to get all of the offsets of the hits throughout all of the pages. now I have a list of all the offsets of the *last* term on each page and a list of the offsets of the hits. From these two lists I can know which pages have hits. Best Erick On 5/23/07, Andreas Guther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, If a search returns a document that has multiple fields with the same name, is there a way to filter only those fields that contain hits? Background: I am indexing documents and we store all content in our index for display reasons. We want to show only those pages containing hits. My first implementation was saving each page in a Lucene document. For performance reasons why are now looking into indexing the complete indexed document as a single Lucene document. Every page is added to a field in the Lucene document named page-content. That means I am ending with as many fields named page-content as the document has pages. My search now returns me a single Lucene document in contrary to my first approach with page per Lucene document. My problem right now is: how can I limit the returned page-contents fields for pages to those field entries that contain hits. If I have hits on pages five pages from a document with 10 pages I would like to have only the pages with the hits, not all. Is there anything in Lucene that limits the returned fields to fields with hits only?
