I don't think there is a way of identifying which of the values of a multivalued field matched. But... I haven't checked the code to be absolutely certain whether their isn't some expert way.

Also, realize that multiple values could match, such as if you queried for "B*".

Hi,

If I index several similar values in a multivalued field (e.g. many authors to one book), is there any way to know which of these matched during a query?
e.g.

Book "The art of Stuff", with authors "Bob Thingummy" and "Belinda Bootstrap"

If we queried for +(author:Be*) and matched this document, is there a way of drilling down and identifying the specific sub-field that actually triggered the match ("Belinda Bootstrap") ? I was wondering what the lowest granularity of matching actually is - document / field / sub-field ...

I am happy to index with term vectors and positions if it helps.

Thanks,

- Chris
