    Description

      Right now, because we pass the BreakIterator to the ctor, you have to make two instances if you sometimes want whole and sometimes want snippets.

      But I think this is a fairly common use case, eg I want entire title field (with matches highlighted) but I want body field (snippets + highlights). It would be nice to have this work with a single instance ...
