I have looked around on Lucene web site as well as some documentation but have not found anything to do with Concept Search. My definition of Concept Search is as follows: 1. I would have a file (list) of various phrases / N-grams which I would like to Lucene to use as a search basis without having to type in all these phrases manually, and have Lucene return the results as it would normally if a single search query was entered. 2. An example would be - find !Wild_Animals! - where the "!" would indicate that this is a search that would use a file (ie Wild_Animals.txt) and read in the various phrases within this file and perform the search in the corpus for these phrases. 3. The contents of Wild_Animals.txt could look like this: BUFFALO BEAR MOOSE COYOTE WOLF MOUNTAIN GOAT MOUNTAIN SHEEP DALL SHEEP DEER KODIAK BEAR BROWN BEAR BLACK BEAR etc etc etc 4. Is my idea of a Concept Search feasible / doable??? If so, can you point me to any documentation that exists whereby this could be done within Lucene Please send any info you have on this to me - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.
