I am not Lucene developer, but: 1) Lucene uses the Vector model, if you want to use different model you must understand what you are doing and you must change similarity calculations. AFAIK you would set the normalization factor to a constant value (1.0 or so). 2) you are trying to search for DATA, not INFORMATION. It is a big difference. For your task, you could rather use simpler engine that is based on RDBMS and B+. -g- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
