: Maybe this is easier ... suppose what I'm indexing is a phone number, and : there are multiple phone numbers for what I'm indexing under the same field : (phone) and I want the wildcard query to match only records that have either : no phone numbers at all OR where ALL phone numbers are in a specific area code : (e.g. 800* would match all in the 800 area code).
i can't think of anyway to accomplish the second part of your query. specificly, given the following records... Doc1: field1:AAA, field1:Aaa, field1:Bb, field1:C, field2:X, field3:Y Doc2: field1:AAA, field1:Aaa, field1:Aa, field2:Z ...i can't think of any type of query like field1:A* which would match Doc2 but not Doc1 (because there are other field1 values that do not start with 'A') -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
