: now very useful when combined. I'm going to investigate other means of : taking into account the wildcard queries and handling them in a : different way. Rest assured that if I find a solution I'll post it to : the user group.
the most straight forward solution is to have two indexed files -- one that's stemmed which you use for normal "word granularity" searching, and one that's unstemmed (probably whitespaced tokenized with a lowercase filter) that you use when people give you wildcard like characters. what i was refering to was the problem of trying to use wildcards on a stemmed field -- there's no simple solution to that problem, because untill you've looked up all the possible matching values, you don't know what the possible stemms might be. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
