Solr highlighting of multiple terms

Question

I have configured Solr so that the terms I'm searching are highlighted, but if those terms are far between them, I will only see the first one in the highlighting snippet.

What I want is to have something similar to Google's: separating snippets with an "ellipse" (...) so I can see the multiple terms in their context at once.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

You're looking for the hl.snippets parameter. It defaults to 1, and determines how many (maximum) snippets each highlighted field returns in each document.

See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters#hl.snippets

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to cross post but I hope this question (which hasn't yet been answered) is very relevant to the above one..
