Well, perhaps this is a bit.. simplistic.. but couldn't you simply
automatically add a clause to your queries based on the detected
language of the session?
Basically you could make three ready to go BooleanQueries where you have
something like this (psuedocode)
enClause ="language: en"
frClause = "language: fr"
nlClause = "language: nl"
And then at search time simply convert the user query to a boolean
query, and add in your new clause, and then pass this modified query to
the actual search?

Hi,
I have a website in 3 languages. The language management is done with Apache
Struts MessageResources, so all the text is stored within .properties files.
These .properties files are indexed and for each doc there is a field called
language which is set to either en,fr or nl. At the moment if a user starts
a search, results for all 3 languages are returned.
Based on the session I can retrieve the users current language. I would like
to discard all search results (docs) which do not match the user's language.
For now, my code looks like this:
public void search(String keywords) {
// parse the keywords string
Query query = null;
try {
query = searcher.getParser().parse(keywords);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
// allows to display the best results first
collector = new TopDocCollector(hitsPerPage);
// Perform the actual search
try {
searcher.getSearcher().search(query, collector);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Save the search results to hits[]
hits = collector.topDocs().scoreDocs;
// Get the number of documents found
numTotalHits = collector.getTotalHits();
}
searcher.getSearcher() returns an instance of my own Searcher class which
contains a StandardAnalyzer, a MultiFieldQueryParser, an IndexReader and an
IndexSearcher.
Thx,
walki
