Hi Eric,
Thanks for the answer.. This does works for me in most cases..
I am actually new to lucene and still getting acquainted to the
various features exposed by it.
When I looked at the API of IndexSearcher I thought that it is the
purpose of the filter class
to filter the returned result set.
So :
public TopDocs search(Weight weight, Filter filter, int nDocs)
throws IOException {
So my thinking was that there should be some Filter available in
lucene which would filter out
the resultset on match on a field.
I think the reason this functionality is not there in Lucene is
because searching a subset of the
index will be much faster - and this can be specified in BooleanQuery.
However what if I have a use case where I want to score documents on
all the fields but filter
them later on on certian fields ? How shoudl I handle this in Lucene ?
