hi folks, I'm new to Lucene and I'm looking for a way to search a substring that starts at a fixed position. It isn't a classical substring search because it's a bit weird. I indexed a field that represents the avability of a room in a hostal during 1 year. The field is composed by 365 digits and each digit represents 1 day and it can be set at 0 (available) or 1 (not available). Thus a string like this: 110001111...(continues with ones until the position 365) means that the hostal is available from 3rd until 5th of January. And now the problem... Suppose that I want to search if an hostal is available from 3rd to 5th of January... I'd have to use wildcards and search a string like this: ??000????...(continues with ? until the position 365) I think this way is not a good one and is too bad for the application perfomance. Is there a way to ask Lucene to search starting from a fixed position? For instance, regard to the example above, could I search a 000 starting to search at the third position? I hope all was clear and you can help me because I've no idea how to solve the problem. Thanks a lot!
