Hi all,

I'm using Lucene.NET 2.0. I'm trying to search for an exact word combination into three fields, my search query is as follow:

+(title:"overgang bromfiets" figure:"overgang bromfiets" contenttext:"overgang bromfiets")

The search result which I found has to be highlighted, but the words overgang and bromfiets are highlighted seperately.

Has anyone an idea how to higihlighted on the whole search command "overgang bromfiets"?

Thanks for all answers.

Regards,
Wouter Splinter

The hithighlighter in Lucene only works correctly for simple non-phrase queries. When a phrase is queried the hithighlighter just highlights all the search terms that occurr in that phrase. Sorry!
