: I could easily go through and add query's but I have a feeling I should : use a filter somewhere. What are the best practices when deciding what : to do?
the list archives will have a lot of discussion on this (mainly along the lines of "should i use a Filter?" in general the deciding factors should be... 1) does the critera in question need to affect scoring -- ie: if you are searching for new articles with the word "software" and you only want articles maped to the stock tickers AAPL or IBM, do you care what the term frequency of the "stockTicker" field is for each document, or what hte document frequency for those particular tickers are? ... if so a Filter won't help you. 2) is the criteria somehting that is reused a lot, and would therfor make sense to cache independend of the users input -- ie: if a user is searching for "flash ram" products and they and lots of other users want to restict to "instock:true" products then a cached Filter could be really handy. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
