You can write an expansionQuery class and enumerate through the fields and send in a query that does that. I did something like that not long ago, it would send a query that would first be "" then AND then OR... -----Original Message----- From: Xin Herbert Wu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 10:24:34 -0500 Subject: How to combine multiple fielded queries in Lucene
I am developing a search application via Lucene and ran into a problem can be described as: Assume we have document schema with these fields: Title, Author, Summary, Publication_date(Date), Content The user query is like this: Find all documents where either Title field has word "baseball" or Summary field has word "white sox" and the Pubblication_date is between Jan. 1995 and Dec. 2004. In other words, I want the query somewhat like this: (Title = "baseball" OR Summary = "white sox") AND Publication_date = "199501 TO 200412" Based on Lucene API, it seems that a basic query is applied on a single document field only, but how can I hook up multiple field queries together with Boolean logic AND or OR as demoed in above example? Your help is greatly appreciated! -Xin
