Description

Original text: "Something for protecting wildlife feed in a feed thing."
Query is:
SpanNearQuery with Slop 9 - in order -
1. SpanTermQuery(wildlife)
2. SpanTermQuery(feed)

This should highlight both instances of "feed" since they are both within slop of 9 of "wildlife". However, only the first instance is highlighted. This occurs with unordered SpanNearQuery as well. Test below replicates. Affects both the current 6.x line and master.

Test that fits within TestUnifiedHighlighterMTQ:

  public void testOrderedSpanNearQueryWithDupeTerms() throws Exception {
    RandomIndexWriter iw = new RandomIndexWriter(random(), dir, indexAnalyzer);
    Document doc = new Document();
    doc.add(new Field("body", "Something for protecting wildlife feed in a feed thing.", fieldType));
    doc.add(newTextField("id", "id", Field.Store.YES));

    iw.addDocument(doc);
    IndexReader ir = iw.getReader();
    iw.close();


    IndexSearcher searcher = newSearcher(ir);
    UnifiedHighlighter highlighter = new UnifiedHighlighter(searcher, indexAnalyzer);
    int docID = searcher.search(new TermQuery(new Term("id", "id")), 1).scoreDocs[0].doc;

    SpanTermQuery termOne = new SpanTermQuery(new Term("body", "wildlife"));
    SpanTermQuery termTwo = new SpanTermQuery(new Term("body", "feed"));
    SpanNearQuery topQuery = new SpanNearQuery.Builder("body", true)
        .setSlop(9)
        .addClause(termOne)
        .addClause(termTwo)
        .build();

    int[] docIds = new int[] {docID};

    String snippets[] = highlighter.highlightFields(new String[] {"body"}, topQuery, docIds, new int[] {2}).get("body");
    assertEquals(1, snippets.length);
    assertEquals("Something for protecting <b>wildlife</b> <b>feed</b> in a <b>feed</b> thing.", snippets[0]);
    ir.close();
  }
