We have a suggestion engine and we only auto-complete from 3 characters (or a number).

What would be nice for your case and maybe for ours is that this expansion done in PrefixQuery is made more explicit so that one could stop it somewhere or filter it. I couldn't find sufficient methods in the IndexReader for this but I didn't look eternally either.

Hi all,

We are trying to implement a Google finance-like suggest as you type
search field. The index is quite large and comprised of multiple fields to search across so our initial implementation was to use a BooleanQuery
with multiple PrefixQuery across each field.  We quickly ran into the
TooManyClauses exception and are looking for alternatives.

Is there an implementation pattern for this use case using lucene? This seems like a common feature on various sites and I'm wondering if lucene
can be used to support this.

Thanks in advance.

Peter Hayes
