Am about to implement a custom query that is sort of mash-up of Facets, Highlighting, and SpanQuery - but thought I'd see if anyone has done anything similar.
In simple words, I need facet on the next word given a target word. For example, if my index only had the following 5 documents (comprised of a sentence each): Doc 1 - The quick brown fox jumped over the fence. Doc 2 - The sly fox skipped over the fence. Doc 3 - The fat fox skipped his afternoon class. Doc 4 - A brown duck and red fox, crashed the party. Doc 5 - Charles Brown! Fox! Crashed my damn car. The query should give the frequency of the distinct terms after the word "fox": skipped - 2 crashed - 2 jumped - 1 Long-term, do the opposite - frequency of the distinct terms before the word "fox": brown - 2 sly - 1 fat - 1 red - 1 My guess is that either the FastVectorHighlighter or SpanQuery would be a reasonable starting point. I was hoping to take advantage of Vectors as I am storing termVectors, termPositions, and termOffsets for the field in question. Grateful for any thoughts . . . reference implementations . . . words of encouragement . . . free beer - whatever you can offer. Gracias, Christopher
