It doesn't work. Users want the results which really match and we can't have missing results or additional results. They search for something and they want to find exactly what they are looking for. Note: this is really 99.9% of our use cases, probably because we mostly develop business applications. > Anyways, to address this, one need to target fields that are: > - using the same fieldbridge > - using the same analyzer > - do the trick I was describing around filters like ngrams (and then or) That's when I stopped my work on HSEARCH-917. I wasn't sure I could decently require such conditions, at least not in the current API. I started to wonder if we could introduce a text() branch in parallel to keyword() and phrase() but never really posted about it. I would like to separate the user responsibility from the developer responsibility: - the user defines his search query. It's a little more clever than just a term search: he can use + - and "": that's why I would like to use a QueryParser directly (most of our users don't use it but some of them need it); - the developer defines how the search is done: it can search on several fields: for each field, the developer can define a boost (this is supported by the SimpleQueryParser) AND he can also define if it's a fuzzy query (not supported out of the box by the SimpleQueryParser). (we could even imagine to support minimum should match as the dismax parser does) Because, this is really what we need on a daily basis: my user don't really know if his search needs to be fuzzy or not. And I would like to be able to make the decision for him because I know the corpus of documents and I know it's going to be needed. I don't know if it looks like something interesting to you? _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
