Finding out which field caused the search hit

This question has been asked numerous times here. But the
answer has never
been satisfactory. Can someone answer it full and final,
please ?

If you get back a document as a search hit. How do you find
out which field
in it matched ? Just the position of the field is sufficient
!

-thanks

Short answer is you can't.  Longer answer, of course Lucene
matches  
on a per-field basis, so it is determining those sorts of
things  
during the search operation, but it does not keep that
information  
handy along with the Hit.
