hello-- i'm trying to figure out the best way to limit a query to a small subset if a lucene index's documents, and i'm a bit of a novice and a bit stumped...
my scenario is: 1) search the index for a term (very boring normal case) 2) take the top 5 results from that search result set 3) next, do a MoreLikeThis query where ONLY those 5 documents are valid to search against (BTW, the MLT query is based on a separately supplied doc which needs to be compared) hoping this scenario makes some sense... should i put together a boolean query with the 5 doc ids, a la: "id:282707 OR id:389447" or should i try to set up a QueryFilter with a list of document ids? and any pointers as to what the syntax should be to add doc ids to a QueryFilter? also, is it possible that Lucene in Action (which i have) is a bit out of date in this area now? any thoughts would be greatly appreciated... best-- --chris sizemore http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
