I guess to be move concise I'm looking to get all the terms that were searched for so I can highlight them in the original document. After looking through the highlighter contrib class I figure I had found my solution with query.extractTerms. Works great for searches like:
genera* -> generally, general ac? -> act General Act -> general, act and a bunch of others I've tested.. So it's almost perfect except when searching for a Phrase. If someone searched for "General Act" I wouldn't want General and Act highlighted unless they were right beside each other.
