Hi, Thanks for the reply. It's an index with tweets so any word really is a target for this. This would mean a significant increase of the index. My volumes are really small so that shouldn't be a problem (but performance/scalability is a concern).
I have the control over the query. Another solution would be to translate a query on "foo" to "foo or #foo or @foo" WDYT? Thanks! S.
