If you want to allow them the full syntax, just use QueryParser#parse (and handle the QueryParseException). If you want to disallow anything special, you could split on whitespace and turn each token into a TermQuery, then throw them all into a BooleanQuery. Anything in between (e.g. allow phrase queries, but disallow everything else) will be more complicated. But I can't think of many good reasons to disallow the full syntax in the first place. -- William <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
