The character offset info is only stored if you enable
Field.TermVector.WITH_OFFSETS or WITH_POSITIONS_OFFSETS on the field.
Then, it can only be retrieved if you get the term vectors for that
document, and locate the term & specific occurrence that you're
interested in.
This is likely quite a bit more costly than what you're doing now
(using payloads) so if you retrieve this eg for every hit it's
probably best to stick with payloads.
