I want my search to treat 'No. 1' and 'No.1' the same, because in our context its one token I want 'No. 1' to become 'No.1', I need to do this before tokenizing because the tokenizer would split one value into two terms and one into just one term. I already use a NormalizeMapFilter to map &' to 'and' but I think it only takes literal text and I need to

1. be case insensitive (but lowercasefilter is only applied after tokenizing)

2. cope with all numbers e.g no. 109

So I was going to subclass BaseCharFilter and do my matches with a regular expression like ([Nn]+[Oo]+\\.) ([0-9]+) but I'm struggling to understand the offset methods you have to do once you get a match. Has anyone already got a regular expression Charfilter OR am I approaching this all wrong

thanks Paul
