Very interesting, and it fills in a few missing bits. > Maybe there is some other work around. What are you trying to > accomplish "historically" with TermPositionsVectors instead of > TermPositions? Historically we've not been able to access the TermPositions object because it seemed to require that the original text was stored and not just indexed (although I can't see why) Perhaps I am mistaken? We're not storing the text context because a) there is rather a lot of it, b) we have the text files stored on special storage boxes mounted to the webservers and they're using directly and c) It didn't seem worth it. Thoughts? So can I use the TermPositions object without the stored text?
