I am using a multi word search query used for to find a match for text that  
user is typing. (Im not using Suggesters)

eg. If a doc has a field with the text "... ... ... .. The Moon is a  
part... .. ....moon is abc ... .. universe is xyz... ...... ..... galaxy  
in the universe ....."  
The user types "_moo_ _univers_", the response I need to send in  
suggestions should be _"moon universe" and not -"moon", " universe" which  
is what happens right now coz I am creating map of tokens._

Currently I am using Highlighting and it returns me the below the matching  
snippet :

1. The _Moon_ is a part
2. _moon_ is abc
3. _universe_ is xyz
4. galaxy in the _universe_

Thanks
