Hi , I have a question related to SpanNearQuery.
As of now, the SpanNearQuery has the constraint that all the terms need to present in the document. Eg : If my SpanNearQuery terms are ( ab,bc,cd) all of them need to be found within a span of "n" and unordered. But my requirement is similar to <http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-user/67382#67382> I need a hit even if there are 2/3 terms found with the span being applied for those 2 terms. Is there any custom implementation in place for this? I checked SrndQuery but that also doesn't work. This is my workaround currently: 1) For a list of terms ( ab,bc, cd,ef) , make a set like ( ab,bc) , ( bc,cd) ( ab,cd) (bc,ef) ( ab,bc,cd) ( ab,bc,cd,ef)..... and so on. 2) Create a spanNearQuery for each of these terms 3) Add it to the booleanQuery with a SHOULD clause. However this approach gives me puzzling scores eg If my document has only ( ab,bc,cd) the penalty for the missing ef is very high and my score comes down quite a bit. < the score value is of importance as I am using it further down the line for other calculations> It would be great if you can help me out with this.
