: Thanks for the suggestions. I've used indexed n-grams before to implement : spell-checking; I think in this case I may take a look at WildcardTermEnum : and RegexTermEnum. It seems like a good solution because I am doing my own : results ordering so Lucene's scoring is irrelevant in this case. I wasn't : aware of these classes so thanks for mentioning them!
using the Enum's directly will help you avoid potential "TooManyClauses" exceptions that you would get with a straight WildcardQuery, but it should be more efficient to index ngrams and then do a Prefix style search because then you can skipTo(yourTerm) and iterate from there. with WildcardTermEnum if you have a leading wildcard the TermEnum has to "next()" over every term inthe field. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
