Hi, What we did was this:
1) When you application starts, it scans the index for terms values and store them in a map or something. 2) When you receive "ajax requests", you compare with the map data and return the relevant part. Works quite fast for us, without round trips to Lucene. Patrick Chris Lu wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to implement an AJAX search.
