I don't think it is possible out-of-the-box. May be you can hack highlighter to
return that first 200 characters in highlighting response.
Or a custom response writer can do that.
But if you will be always returning first 200 characters of documents, I think
creating additional field with indexed="false" stored="true" will be more
efficient. And you can make your original field indexed="true" stored="false",
your index size will be diminished.
<copyField source="text" dest="textShort" maxChars="200"/>
