Sorry about that, I am using the web interface where the context of my post is visible to all. To sum up, my original post was: > It seems that when I use a PorterStemFilter in my custom analyser, > wildcard searches malfunction. > > As an example, I have the words "appendicitis" and "sensitisation" > in our content. When I enter a query of "a*itis" I would expect > to have "appendicitis" match but instead I get "sensitisation" and > not "appendicitis". If I remove the PorterStemFilter then things > behave as I would have expected and desired. > > Why is this happening? Is there a way to apply a PorterStemFilter > and still be able to use wildcards? > > I am using Lucene 3.2. And now I am adding: > I am applying the PorterStemFilter at both indexing and search time. > > As for schema, I have 3 fields: title, subtitle and notes. When the user > enters a query string of "a*itis" (without the double quotes of course), > my software turns this into an actual > Lucene query of "title: a*itis OR subtitle: a*itis OR notes: a*itis" and I > get the results I described. However, if I run an actual query of just > "a*itis" I then get the results I am looking for. I guess in this case > it's using the default field that I specify in creating the QueryParser > which is "notes" but if I change the actual query to "notes: a*itis" I > still get the undesirable results. > > Any idea why I am seeing this behaviour? Again, if I remove the > PorterStemFilter from my custom analyzer (which I use at both indexing and > search time) then I get the results I want (albeit I lose the other > functionality which I also need). I hope that's a bit clearer. Any ideas to explain and/or resolve this?
