I found some discussions of this question from back in 2003, but that was many updates ago.
I have built an index using the standard stop analyser which uses the standard list of stop words. "will" and :the" are stop words. As I understand analyzers and phrase queries, when I search for you will find the answer using the default slop of 0, I should find any pattern like you <any stop word> find <any stop word> answer because the analyzer replaces "will" and "the" in the query with a space indicator as it did when analyzing the original input text. Instead, I find phrases such as you find an answer "an" is a stop work, so matching "find an answer" is as expected, but there is no stop word between "you" and "find" in the original input string. I do not see why "you find an answer" matches. What am I doing wrong? Also, when I try to highlight after searching for a phrase, the highlighter highlights individual words wherever it finds them in the input text. The documentation suggests that if I use the right scoring system, I will highlight only long strings of adjacent tokens which are found in the phrase, but I am not sure how to do that. If necessary, I will paste in samples of my code for creating the indexes and doing the search. Thanks. Bill Taylor
