lucene suggest

Hello i would like to implement a suggest implementation (like google suggest) using lucene. i actually tried using lucene and it was successfull but i was stuck in some point which is returning a list of results to the user that have no duplicates. my question is: is there any way i can remove

RE: lucene suggest

the documents are not duplicated, i mean the hits (assume that 2 documents have the same subject but with different authors, so if i'm searching the subject, the returned hits will have duplicates ) i was asking if i can remove duplicates from the hits?? thanks in advance Ard Schrijvers <[EMAIL
