You can get the information pretty quickly by using a WildcardTermEnum (NOT query). Especially if you terminate after some number of characters....

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]
