: I need all the documents returned from the search and am manipulating the : results with a custom HitCollector, therefore I can't use filters.
I don't understand this comment. There are certianly methods in the Searchble interface that allow you to use both a Filter and a HitCollector together -- as for "need all the documents returned from the search" ... I'm not suggesting you filter out any docs your query doesn't allready restrict out because of hte required clauses. I'm just saying that instead of a few dozen required clauses, you use a Filter like the one previously posted in this thread. if you need to combine those "required" filters with other optional condition,s you cna do that using a ChainedFilter (or writting your own custom Filter that unions the BitSets yourself) -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
