Doron; You're entirely correct about the analyzer (I'm using one that breaks on non-alphanumeric characters, so all punctuation is ignored). To be honest, I hadn't thought about altering this, but I guess I could; just reticent that there might be unforeseen consequences.
But I'm still curious about the original solution. Shouldn't it be possible to take "pagefile.*" and tokenize it (essentially throwing away the wildcard at the end)? --Colin McGuigan -----Original Message----- From: Doron Cohen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 2:08 AM To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Wildcard query with untokenized punctuation Hi Colin, Is it possible that you are using an analyzer that breaks words on non letters? For instance SimpleAnalyzer? if so, the doc text: pagefile.sys is indexed as two words: pagefile sys At search time, the query text: pagefile.sys is also parsed-tokenized into a two words query: profile sys but the query text: pagefile.sys* is not analyzed (by design) and matches only words that start with: pagefile.sys But there are no such words in the index, because it was indexed with breaking words on non-letters... Hopefully this gets you started... If this is the reason, you may want to use a different analyzer (See Wiki page "AnalysisParalysis"). Otherwise, make sure you use the same analyzers at indexing and search ... and see the Lucene FAQ entry "Why am I getting no hits / incorrect hits?". If all this still fails, try to post here a simple code snippet showing how you index and how you search. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
