Adding an UN_TOKENIZED field to your index can solve the problem
For ex,
<PRE>
//Create Index
IndexWriter wr = new IndexWriter("IndexXXX", new
WhitespaceAnalyzer(),true);
Document doc = new Document();
doc.Add(new Field("field1", "abc def", Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.TOKENIZED));
doc.Add(new Field("field2", "abc def", Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED));
wr.AddDocument(doc);
doc = new Document();
doc.Add(new Field("field1", "abc defg", Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.TOKENIZED));
doc.Add(new Field("field2", "abc defg", Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED));
wr.AddDocument(doc);
wr.Close();
//Search
IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher("IndexXXX");
Query query = new WildcardQuery(new Term("field1", "abc def" + "*"));
Hits hits = searcher.Search(query);
int resCount = hits.Length(); //<--******** returns 0 result
query = new WildcardQuery(new Term("field2", "abc def" + "*"));
hits = searcher.Search(query);
resCount = hits.Length(); //<--******** returns 2 results
</PRE>

Hi,
In our application we need to develop "Starts With" kind of search.
While indexing we have used WhiteSpace Tokenizer, and the search fields
while indexing are Tokenized.
We have tried creating such queries with WildCardQuery - with "*" at the
end.
It works fine for single word queries.
For multi word query we need the following behavior -
Search key - "abc def"
Results should list - "abc def"
"abc defg"
"abc defgh" . etc.
Search result should contain all in which def* appears immediately after
abc.
If we directly try to create the query in the following way -
Query q = new WildcardQuery(new Term(field, "abc def" + "*"));
It does not work.
What kind of query creation should be used to achieve this.
On the same fileds we also need Approximate search, for which we are using
fuzzy query.
We need to keep the search fileds tokenized only as it is required in few
other types of search being performed.
Thanks,
Sudhanya
