Hey guys,

One last question and I think I'll have an optimized algorithm.

How can I build a query in my program ?

This is what I am doing:

QueryParser queryParser = new QueryParser("contents", new
StandardAnalyzer());

 queryParser.setDefaultOperator(QueryParser.Operator.AND);

 Query q = queryParser.parse(queryString);

So doing : System.out.println(q) shows:

+contents:harvard +contents:business +contents:review

I'd like to modify Query q to read:

+contents:harvard +contents:business +contents:review +itemID: (id passed in
the search method)

So this would pick the one document I need from the Index and give me the
score. I don't have to iterate over Hits.

Any clues ? I can't find any examples on query building .

thanks !

Askar
