He he, nice comparison! Cheers for the advice.

(otherwise equality is kind of vague) if you really wanted to add a constraint like this to an existing lucene query, you could impliment it by walking the FieldCaches for the two fields in parallel and recording any doc whose value is the same in each -- but if this is a piece of information you expect to want a lot, you're better of just testing this type of information when you index your doc, and add it as a seperate field. (i won't say this problem is a screw, and Lucene is a hammer; but this problem is a phillips head screw, and Lucene is a tiny flat screwdriver that just happens to fit in the philips head and can turn it if you apply just the right amount of pressure -- but it's certainly not what it was intended for) -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
