Erick/John, thank you so much for the reply. I have gone through the mailing
list u have redirected me to. I know i need to read more, but some quick
questions. Please bear with me if they appear to be too simple.
Below is the code snippet of my current search. Also i need to get score info
of each of my document returned in search, as i display the search result in
the order of scroing.
{
Directory fsDir = FSDirectory.getDirectory(aIndexDir, false);
IndexSearcher is = new IndexSearcher(fsDir);
ELSAnalyser elsAnalyser = new ELSStopAnalyser();
Analyzer analyzer = elsAnalyser.getAnalyzer();
QueryParser parser = new QueryParser(aIndexField, analyzer);
Query query = parser.parse(aSearchStr);
hits = is.search(query);
}
Now as i have understood, through the mail archives you have suggsted, below
is what we need to do.
1)The second was to build a *Filter* that uses WildcardTermEnum -- not a
Query.
because it's a filter, the scoring aspects of each document are taken out of
the equation (I am worried abt it , as i need scoring info)
2)Once you have a "WildcardFilter" wrapping it in a ConstantScoreQuery would
give you a drop in replacement for WildCardQuery that would sacrifive the
TF/IDF scoring factors for speed and garunteed execution on any pattern in any
index regardless of size. (Does that mean it will solve my scoring issue and i
will get scoring info)
Also it suggests "SpanNearQuery on a wildcard". I am kinda cofused which is
the approach that should be actually used. Please suggest. At the same time i
am studing more abt it. Thanks a lot for ur help on this.
Best Regards,
Ruchika

John's answer is spot-on. There's a wealth of information in the user group
archives that you should be able to search on discussing ways of providing
the functionality. One thread titled "I just don't get wildcards at all"
is one where the folks who know generously helped me out.
Once you find out how to search for that you'll know you're in the right
place.
Here's the searchable archive.....

Make sure you select the "java user" from the top drop-down labeled
"Search".
