Yes, I know this is off topic, but I also know that some of the most experienced people in information retrieval monitor this list, so I thought it worth the risk to get flamed.
A spec just came to my desk to develop a search application -- using Lucene -- with field names as a suffix to the search term(s) instead of as a prefix (e.g. term:field1,field2). Given that Lucene uses the field as a prefix I had thought this to be more or less standard. So: is there any sort of standard in the field of search, or is it purely an application-specific design decision? -- Robert -------------------- Robert Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
