try: 1. query-string: "hello +area:home" to get Filtering effect
2. to minimize scoring use boosts: "(hello)^HIGH_BOOST +(area:home)^LOW_BOOST" 3. If scoring via boosts does not work good enough for you, or is slow, use Filter interface from your code... search this list for Filter ----- Original Message ---- From: David Trattnig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, 16 May, 2006 3:16:05 PM Subject: Search precondition: matching area Hello LuceneList, I've got at least following fields in my index: AREA = "home news business" CONTENTS = "... hello world ..." If I submit the query query-string: "hello area:home" Lucene should only search these documents which has the matching area. Actually Lucene searches the area, but it should NOT return results if the area doesn't match --> actually Lucene searches also in the other fields for the area - indeed with less rating - but they are returned. NOT include a matching area to the rating In other words: The area shouldn't handled like a standard search able field, more like a precondition if the query should be applied. Additionally: If I submit no area e.g. query-string: "hello" the query should be applied as it would have a matching area. Any help would be appreciated, Best Regards, David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
