determine which value produced a hit in multivalued field type

[Harsch, Timothy J. (ARC-TI)[PEROT SYSTEMS]]

Hi,
If I have a multiValued field type of text, and I put values 
[cat,dog,green,blue] in it.  Is there a way to tell when I execute a query 
against that field for dog, that it was in the 1st element position for that 
multiValued field?

Thanks!
Tim
