Hi All, I'm using a bunch of SpanNearQueries combined in a SpanOrQuery to do a set of searches matches a phrase with a prefix search at the end. I.e.
"phrase with prefix s*" kind of thing that matches "phrase with prefix search" and "phrase with prefix string". It works great and lets me quickly produce excerpts with the spans that I get via getSpans. Now, however, I'd like to be able restrict the search to certain documents in the index, so I don't have to stream through a couple of thousand spans to produce the 10 excerpts on a subset of the documents. I've tried added a term to the SpanNearQueries that targets a keyword field containing the document ids, but SNQ (understandably) can't handle that. There isn't a SpanBooleanQuery and if I wrap the SpanOrQuery in a BooleanQuery I'll lose access to the getSpans() method - same if I use a Filter - can't get spans out of a Hits object, right? Am I missing something? Is there a straightforward way to do what I'm trying to do that I'm missing? Thanks, Greg
