Thanks. I noticed, however, that the documentation for Ferret::Index::Index says that the default analyzer is StandardAnalyzer. The StandardAnalyzer documentation says that it filters LetterTokenizer with LowerCaseFilter. Are you talking about StopAnalyzer? If so, perhaps the documentation is wrong and should be updated. I've checked both the 0.9 and 0.10 api documentation and they say the same thing. > The analyzer needs to be used both while adding documents to the index > and when parsing the query parsing time (i.e. passed to both > QueryParser.new and IndexWriter.new/Index.new).

I'll try this out after I get some sleep. :) -- Linux Just Simply Rocks!
