Yeah, I thought about using markers, but then I'd have to search the the text for the markers to determine the locations. This is a clunky way of getting the results I want, and it would save two steps if Solr merely had an option to return a start/length array (of what should be highlighted) in the original string rather than returning an altered string with tags inserted.

You can change the strings that are inserted into the text, and could
place markers that you use to identify the start/end of highlighting
elements. Does that work?

Greetings!

I have highlighting turned on in my Solr searches, but what I get back
is <em> tags surrounding the found term.  Since I use a SWT StyledText
widget to display my search results, what I really want is the offset
and length of each found term, so that I can highlight it in my own way
without HTML.  Is there a way to configure Solr to do that?  I couldn't
find it.  If not, how do I go about posting this as a feature request?

Thanks,
Mark
