Eric, Thank you very much for your response. That sounds very interesting. Let me do some experimenting to see if I fully understood your solution. Otherwise I have to come back to you with more questions.

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.
