: I understand the OP to want a PhraseQuery that has an intention (rather than : side-effect) of doing proximity-based scoring. : : "phrase query here"~1000 is the current hack that performs fine for N < 3 : query terms, but fails currently for N >= 3 since it requires that all the : terms be present. For larger queries, this effectively nullifies the : usefulness of the phrase query approach. that's what i thought first too, and it is a problem i'd eventaully like to tackle ... it was the part about "c" being in a differnet field from "a" and "b" that confused me ... i don't know what that exactly is being suggested here. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
