It takes an XML response as input (which could be backed by lucene). I have implemented this and it works pretty fast, although I do have a small dataset. -Anna -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 6:32 PM To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: How to implement AJAX search~Lucene Search part? Hi, I would like to implement an AJAX search. Basically when user types in several characters, I will try to search the Lucene index and found all possible matching items. Seems I need to use wildcard query like "test*" to matching anything. Is this the only way to do it? It doesn't seems quite efficient, especially when you just typed in the first character. I guess the "good" way is to go through the terms, and return as soon as, for example, 10 terms are found. I am wondering is there anything like this already built? -- Chris Lu ------------------------- Instant Scalable Full-Text Search On Any Database/Application site: http://www.dbsight.net demo: http://search.dbsight.com Lucene Database Search in 3 minutes: http://wiki.dbsight.com/index.php?title=Create_Lucene_Database_Search_in _3_minutes --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
