: I am new to Lucene. I find that the output : of the Query.toString() method cannot be parsed : back to the same query. Is it true? If it is : true, I am wondering why not make the output of : Query.toString() parsable to the same query again?
some of hte more simplified query classes generate a toString that is parsable by the QueryParser -- but not all (because there are many more types of queries then there are special markup in the QueryPArser to denote them) In general, no matter how robust a parser you might might write, you can never get perfect reparsing of a Query.toString unless the "Analyzyer" you use is extremely simplistic -- Analyzers are not required to be transitive, ie: analysis(foo) == bar does not imply analysis(bar) == bar (think of stemming for example) -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
