We're doing a similar process using term vectors to look up the bounding-box data in a custom response writer for a specific project, but we're trying to get this packaged up in a more generally usable way along with handling paging: see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-380. We're looking at using Lucene's new payload functionality.

Search results in a request handler consist of a sorted list of integer lucene doc ids. You'll have to query the lucene api for the term vectors corresponding to those doc ids. > Would not the termVectors already be available from the normal search > and we'd just be asking for the term vectors from that? No, term vectors are stored separately from the inverted index and are not used in search. > Any advice for a perl/python programmer who is trying to baddly hack > this in Java? Unforunately, not really. It's probably worth stepping back to learn the basics of the lucene/solr apis before trying to accomplish your specific goal. -Mike
