: Hrm.. can we see a more specific example of the type of data you are trying to : query against here?
As i understand the question, this is a fairly classic hierarchical organization of documents. Documents Foo>Bar>Baz and Foo>Bar>Bax are both children of Document Foo>Bar ... Foo>Barber is their aunt (a sibling document of Foo>Bar. searching for doc:Foo>Bar>* will find all of the decendents of document Foo>Bar ... but you want to just find the direct children (not hte grand children) the easiest way to tackled something like this is with multiple fields... doc_path: Foo>Bar>Baz parent: Foo>Bar ..then you can query for parent:"Foo>Bar" to find all of the direct children, or doc:Foo>Bar>* to find all decendents. i typically use an "ancestors" field, where every ancestor in the "family tree" is enumerated as a seperate field value, so that i'm not dependent on prefix queries to do "decendents" queries like that.... doc_path: Foo>Bar>Baz parent: Foo>Bar ancestor: Foo>Bar ancestor: Foo -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
