Hi My intention is to give different terms in a field different boost values.
The queries from a use perspective, will be one fulltext input field. The following code illustrates this: Field f1 = new Field("name", "John", Field.Store.NO, Field.Index.TOKENIZED); Field f2 = new Field("name", "Doe", Field.Store.NO, Field.Index.TOKENIZED); f1.setBoost(1.0f); f2.setBoost(2.0f); doc.add(f1); doc.add(f2); In the current version of Lucene, as far as I now, this does not work - Allthough it would have been a very powerful feature. The current solution is to make a firstname field and a lastname field, and then make a complex query like this: Input: Eric Doe (firstname:Eric OR lastname:Eric^2) AND (firstname:Doe OR lastname:Doe^2) The performance of such a query is quite slow, and it becomes even worse when you have more than two fields and/or more words in the input string. My questions: 1. Is there a better/faster solution to accomplish such a query? 2. Would it be possible to implement the described feature in a future version of Lucene? -- Best Regards, Frode --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
