I'd be more inclined to guess that kylie->klyie falls below the 0.5f similarity threshold you pass.
Try print out the results of fuzzyQuery.rewrite(indexReader).toString(); This will rewrite the fuzzyQuery to a BooleanQuery which explicitly lists the TermQuery objects that the fuzzyQuery has found potential matches for in your index. --- Rob Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rob Young wrote: > > > mark harwood wrote: > > > >> It comes down to your choice of analyzer. > >> > >> Don't forget your "all" field is broken down into > >> discreet terms by your choice of analyzer. > >> > >> Most often, you will want to use the same > analyzer at > >> query-time with the query parser to make sure the > >> user's input matches the stored document terms. > >> If you get it wrong (say using an analyzer that > >> doesn't lower-case) you'll find nothing: > >> Kylie != kylie > >> > >> If you aren't using a query parser and manually > >> constructing FuzzyQuery objects programmatically > the > >> same logic applies (psueodocode): new > FuzzyQuery(new Term("Kylie")) > >> != "kylie" > >> > >> > > Thanks for the help.
