hi, i would like to provide a exact "PrefixField Search", i.e. a search for exactly the first words in a field. I think I can't use a PrefixQuery because it would find also substrings inside the field, e.g. action* would find titles like "Action and knowledge" but also (that's what i don't want it to find) "Lucene in Action"
As a regex it would be sth. like /^Action and.*/ Now the question for me is how to implement this functionality, I see to ways: 1) Some kind of TermEnum over all Docs (or the prefixquery results?) and string comparison 2) Using the regex contribution 3) a super -fast lucene function I have overseen :) with 2) I am worrying about performance, anybody have experiences with regex-queries? .. but same for 1) anybody already impolemented this already and could give some code samples / hints ? tia, martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
