As I understand it, there really is no "space indicator". I think of it as replacing the stop word with a space, which is then discarded.
so, you're indexing 'you find answer', and both your searches are looking for 'you find answer', the stop words are just gone as though they never were. So both queries match. But I've been wrong before <G>... I can't really speak to the highlighter question, so I'll let someone more knowledgeable pipe up. Erick On 4/12/07, Bill Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I found some discussions of this question from back in 2003, but that was many updates ago. I have built an index using the standard stop analyser which uses the standard list of stop words. "will" and :the" are stop words. As I understand analyzers and phrase queries, when I search for you will find the answer using the default slop of 0, I should find any pattern like you <any stop word> find <any stop word> answer because the analyzer replaces "will" and "the" in the query with a space indicator as it did when analyzing the original input text. Instead, I find phrases such as you find an answer "an" is a stop work, so matching "find an answer" is as expected, but there is no stop word between "you" and "find" in the original input string. I do not see why "you find an answer" matches. What am I doing wrong? Also, when I try to highlight after searching for a phrase, the highlighter highlights individual words wherever it finds them in the input text. The documentation suggests that if I use the right scoring system, I will highlight only long strings of adjacent tokens which are found in the phrase, but I am not sure how to do that. If necessary, I will paste in samples of my code for creating the indexes and doing the search. Thanks. Bill Taylor
