The various examples I see about how to find positions of the matches returned by an IndexSearcher either require retrieving the document's content and search a TokenStream or to index the positions and offsets in the term vectors, turn the query into a term and find it in the term vector. But what happens when I use a FuzzyQuery? Is there a way to know which term(s) exactly matched in the hit so that I may look for them in the term vector of this document?
In case that's of any value, I'm new to Lucene and my goal here is to annotate a set of documents (the ones indexed in Lucene) with a set of terms, but the documents are from scanned texts and contain OCR errors, therefore I must use a FuzzyQuery. I thought about using lucene-suggest to do some spellchecking beforehand but it occured to me that it boiled down to trying to find fuzzy matches.
