Hi I am looking at building a faceted search using Lucene. I know that Solr comes with this built in, however I would like to try this by myself (something to add to my CV!). I have been looking around and I found that you can use the IndexReader and use TermVectors. This looks ok but I'm not sure how to filter the results so that a particular user can only see a subset of results. The next option I was looking at was something like
Term term1 = new Term("brand", "ford"); Term term2 = new Term("brand", "vw"); Term[] termsArray = new Term[] { term1, term2 };un int[] docFreqs = indexSearcher.docFreqs(termsArray); The only problem here is that I have to provide the brand type each time a new brand is created. Again I'm not sure how I can filter the results here. It may be that I'm using the wrong api methods to do this. I would be grateful if I could get some advice on this. Cheers Amin P.S. I am basically trying to do something that displays the following Personal Contact (23) Business Contact (45) and so on..
