Thanks Pierrick.
Are you say that I should construct Token in analyzer like
new Token ("chem_H2O", 100, 103, "chem");
note that chem_ is added prefix to H2O, and 100 to 103 is length of H2O rather
than chem_H2O?
I also have some further problem and not sure if can be solved by this approch.
I want to index H2O in a compound, say H2O-CH2. say I want a query to find out
H2O in a compound. How can I do that?
Thanks,
Ethan
