>             Project: Lucene - Java
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: contrib/highlighter
>    Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.4.1

>            Priority: Minor

> I'd like to submit a patch for ConstantScoreQuery which simply contains a setter method to state whether it is being used for highlighting or not.
> If it is being used for highlighting, then the rewrite method can take each of the terms in the filter and create a BooleanQuery to return (if the number of terms in the filter are less than 1024), otherwise it simply uses the old rewrite method.
> This allows you to highlight upto 1024 terms when using a ConstantScoreQuery, which since it is a filter, will currently not be highlighted.
> The idea for this came from Mark Millers article "Bringing the Highlighter back to Wildcard Queries in Solr 1.4", I would just like to make it available in core lucene
