: 1] Why do use BitSet Class ? : 2] Is it required in Filtering / Sorting of results or to Index ?
BitSet is a usefull class for lots of things. the only time (that i know of) where it is part of the public lucene API is in the interaction between a Filter and the IndexSearcher ... so unless you are writting your own Filters, no it's not required that you use a BitSet. : 3] What do you means by Inverted Index ? That's a pretty broad question... start with googling for the expression and see if the info you find helps you understand the concept. : 4] Can we give limit to no. of hits returned by Searcher. Searchers score documents in doc id order ... so you don't really want a way to limit the searcher. what you want is a way to only get the first N results once hte searcher has scored them all and ordered them by score. doesn't that is just a matter of stopping at N when you iterate over a Hits object. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
