: This is the bit I don't get (I have got round the problem), why can't : you use wildcards within double quotes, this isnt mentioned anywhere in : http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html Documenting a negated set against the universe of all posisble syntax isn't feasible -- ie: the docs list what things QueryParser can do, not the full list of all permutations of things it can't do. It can't deal with Span Queries, it can't handle fuzzy phrase queries, it doesn't suppord math on field vaues, it doesn't support negative values for boost, ... these are just some of the things it doesn't support. If you read the section on Proximity Searches (aka: PhraseQuery) you'll eee it clearly says "Lucene supports finding words are a within a specific distance away." ... note that word "word". It does *not* say "...finding QUERIES are within...." There is no implication that the QueryParser's Proximity Searching support incudes any query types (like wildcards) other then simple term matching. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
