The value of the word - the word itself, should be your unique identifier. Otis

Thanks for the reply....I guess my concern is that I want to ensure that I don't accidentally delete other words than the intended word. Example, if I build a custom index, I can delete a word not based on the term itself, though in the term I can include a "unique" identifier as well. Can the same be done for the spell checker index?

You can pass that delete method a Term where the field name is "word" and the value is the mizpelt word. > > Otis > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Josh Joy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: java-user@lucene.apache.org > Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 2:26:18 AM > Subject: SpellChecker Index - remove words? > > Hi All, > > The spellchecker api is very nice to use, and I can > easily add words to > the index.
