I've started to study Lucene just today and the demos give me much information on how to begin to use it.
But I have one doubt that I couldn't resolve reading the docs and the demo sources: All the examples just search in the index by just a single word, but I need to know if it's possible to search in the index using a reference text. Let me explain: supose that a web user reaches the search page of my commercial website and needs to find a solution about some trouble. Then he types a long text (about three or four paragraphs) and next clicks on the search button. In this cenario, it's that possible to perform a search through the index using that long text? What I need it's something just like the Help system of microsoft office. I apreciate if someone could give me some directions. Best Regards.

I don't have money to do a great english course and I have try to learn by myself usind the BBC site.
