I reindexed with the path as a keyword field and now the PrefixQuery filter does exactly what I need. Thanks!
I'm going to hold off on the paragraph-level indexing for now, but that does sound interesting. many thanks, John -----Original Message----- From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 3:18 PM To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: search a subdirectory (New to Lucene) 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 :) Erik On Feb 22, 2006, at 1:00 PM, John Hamilton wrote: > 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?
