I am not entirely sure if this can be the cause, but here is something I thought might be related: The idea is have an index containing documents where each document has a combination of two words : word1 and word2 and a score for these two words. The index would be searched first if the two words exist, and if not the score would be computed on the fly and then added to the index. This process would be repeated thousands of times for thousands of words.
Hence, I have an indexwriter and a searcher -------------------- RAMDirectory ramDir = new RAMDirectory(INDEX_DIR); IndexWriter ramWriter = new IndexWriter(ramDir, new WhitespaceAnalyzer(), true,IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.UNLIMITED); writer = new IndexWriter(INDEX_DIR,new WhitespaceAnalyzer(),true ,IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.UNLIMITED); FSDirectory fsdir = FSDirectory.getDirectory(INDEX_DIR); IndexReader ir = IndexReader.open(fsdir); _searcher = new IndexSearcher(ir); -------------------- The indexWriter is closed near the end of the program (it's open while searching for words combinations ). When using Luke,, I was able to search successfully for exact phrases. My guess is that the problem I am facing has something to do with the indexWriter, but I can not pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. --- On Sat, 11/1/08, semelak ss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: semelak ss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Exact Phrase Query > To: java-user@lucene.apache.org > Date: Saturday, November 1, 2008, 10:03 AM > When using Luke,, searching for the followings gives me hits > now: > "insurer storm" > The synatx of the query as parsed by Luke is : > word:"insurer storm" > > The code I am using is as follows: > ---------------------- > _searcher = new IndexSearcher(INDEX_DIR); > _parser = new QueryParser("word", new > WhitespaceAnalyzer()); > Query q = _parser.parse(query); > System.out.println(q.toString()); // this outputs -> > word:"insurer storm" > TopDocs vv= _searcher.search(q, 1); > Hits tmph = _searcher.search(q); > --------------------------------- > > both vv and tmph give no results (their size is 0) > > > > --- On Fri, 10/31/08, semelak ss > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > From: semelak ss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: Exact Phrase Query > > To: java-user@lucene.apache.org > > Date: Friday, October 31, 2008, 9:41 AM > > For indexing, I use the following: > > =========== > > writer = new IndexWriter(INDEX_DIR,new > > WhitespaceAnalyzer(),true > > ,IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.UNLIMITED); > > Document doc = new Document(); > > String tmpword = this.getProperForm(word1, word2); > > doc.add(new Field("WORDS", tmpword, > > Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.TOKENIZED)); > > doc.add(new Field("score", > Double.toString(score) > > , Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.NO)); > > writer.addDocument(adoc); > > ============ > > > > For searching,, I use the following (query = > > "homeowner work" gives no hits ,, > > "homeowner" gives results): > > ============ > > _searcher = new IndexSearcher(INDEX_DIR); > > _parser = new QueryParser("WORDS", new > > WhitespaceAnalyzer()); > > q = _parser.parse(query); > > Hits tmph = _searcher.search(q); > > > > ============ > > > > A sample document (contained in the index) is the > > following: > > > > filed: value > > -----: ----- > > WORDS:"homeowners work" > > score: 0.1515417 > > > > > > Also, please note that I tried using Luke to browse > the > > index and the fields seem to be filled out with words > just > > as expected.
