Hi, I would like to use the postings highlighter to highlight a whole field, therefore I'm using the WholeBreakIterator. But if the field has multiple values, I get a single snippet (with the chosen multiValuedSeparator between the different values), while I would like to get a highlighted snippet per value.
This doesn't seem currently possible and I was wondering if it would make sense to you to expose the described functionality in Lucene. It would be enough in my case to have the right hooks exposed, to be able to extend the current default behaviour. What I would like to do is 1) change the return type of loadFieldValues, probably to an object (that might be subclassed if needed) 2) Taking the offsets of the values into account when highlighting, and consider also the whole field length to properly score the snippets (not sure if scoring makes a lot of sense here though) I can definitely provide a patch for this but I would like to hear what you think first. Cheers Luca
