Hello,
I am using Lucene for for searching in my application.
My application needs prefix wildcard search also.
But Lucene doesn't support this. So I changed in the QueryParser.jj file
FROM:
| <WILDTERM: <_TERM_START_CHAR>
(<_TERM_CHAR> | ( [ "*", "?" ] ))* >
To:
| <WILDTERM: (<_TERM_CHAR> | ( [ "*", "?" ] ))* >
And then I build it using ant and then by using
command ant -Djavacc.home = C:/javac javacc
And both times it was saying build was successful.
Then I put in the classpath, the newly generated jar file in build directory
instead of lucene-current.jar. Even then it is not working for
prefix wildcard search (e.g. *patent). And I am getting the following error:
caught a class org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException
with message: Lexical error at line 1, column 2. Encountered:
"*" (42), after : ""
Is it the correct way for to make it work for prefix wildcard
search using lucene.
Is there any thing wrong I am doing?
Is there any other way to do this?
part of my querying code is:
Query query = QueryParser.parse(query,"ALL",analyzer);
Hits hits = searcher.search(query);
And the query I am passing e.g. is *static.
So please any one help me to solve this problem.
