: I checked the lucene converted syntax (using Query.toString()) in both case : and found the second one actually not converting to proximity query.
I don't think you understood what I was trying to say... using parens with a "~" character after it is not currently, and has never been (to my knowledge) a means of creating a "proximity query". It is not documented in 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 1.9, or 1.4.3. It is not legal syntax in 2.2 (it causes a parse exception). In lucene, the way to do proximity based queries is either with SpanNearQueries, or with PhraseQueries -- the way to create a PhraseQuery using hte Lucene QueryParser is with quote character '"' there is no reason why you should expect: (cat dog)~3 to create a proximity query. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
