I've run into a case where we want to search for the acronym 'LET', however this three letter word occurs very frequently in quite a number of documents.
What I'm looking to do is a query that's case insensitive _except_ for that specific term. And, it appears to do so, things get very ugly, very quickly. According to http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-user/28131?page=last (I'm doing my homework first), it appears that one must keep a case-sensitive and case-insensitive version in the index, if not two separate indexes. While this makes sense up to a point, allowing me to search one field or the other; I'm looking for distances between words, it seems things get far more complicated. Because, should I store both versions and happen to know that the tokens are the same and that their positions are identical, is there a way do things like: "LET organization" (where LET is case sensitive, but part of the phrase) "company LET"~10 (again, where LET is case sensitive, near the term company which is case insensitive) Would love to get some thoughts on how to go about approaching this.
