: Isn't RegexQuery slower than '???' at the end of a : word? I've nevered used RegexQuery but a quick glance at the regex javadocs indicates that some "RegexCapabilities" can optimize the cases with a fixed prefix, and JakartaRegexpCapabilities is one of those cases ... so if you construct a RegexQuery and call setRegexImplementation(new JakartaRegexpCapabilities()) it should be just as fast sa a WildCardQuery
(both will start at the first term with a prefix in common, and then test each successive term against a common pattern) -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
