Description

Spinoff from this thread:

Currently WeightedSpanTermExtractor only collects positions for "position sensitive" queries. Allowing WeightedSpanTermExtractor to store positions for TermQuery would enable the WeightedSpanTermExtractor to be used outside the highlighter in custom plugins to get positions information.
