I presume by saying "subdirectory" you're referring to filesystem directories and you're indexing a directory tree of files. If you index the path (perhaps relative from the root is best) as a keyword field (untokenized, but indexed) you could perform filtering on a / path/subpath sort of way using PrefixQuery.

As for paragraphs - how you index a "document" is entirely application dependent. Maybe it makes sense to parse the documents before handing them to Lucene such that you're creating a Lucene Document for each paragraph rather than for each entire file. Slicing the granularity of a domain into Documents is a fascinating topic :)

I'm new to Lucene and was wondering what is the best way to perform a search on a subdirectory or subdirectories within the index? My thought at this point is to build a query to first search for files in the required directory(ies) and then use that query to make a QueryFilter and use that QueryFilter in the actual search. Is there an easier way?

On an unrelated note, does anybody know of a way to get results a the section level within a document? For example, could I find not just a document that matches my query, but the paragraph within that document that best matches the query?

thanks,

John
