Hello, Given a prefix query such as "Jame*" and an index containing the following entries:
Someone that is named James James Brown James Crown John James Mathew Jameson Jones Mathew Jamesville Dewitt Hank James I'd like Lucene to return the results in the following order: James Brown James Crown Jameson Jones Mathew Jamesville Dewitt Hank James Someone that is named James The score of a matching document should be inversely proportional to the position of the word in which the first prefix match occurred. So documents that matched on the first word should be ranked above matches in the second word and above matches in the third word etc... Items that matched on the same word position should then be sorted alphabetically. So far I've not been successful trying to get this behavior out of the stock Lucene query parsers and scorers. I'd appreciate any help in implementing this. The Similarity class does not provide information on where the match occurred so I cannot implement this logic there. -c
