Have you looked at MultiFieldQueryParser source? It's a very simple class, and modifying it (making a new class) should be easy; pass in not only field names but also weights to apply? (as a sidenote, MultiFieldQueryParser does some unnecessary work as is... it seems to re-parse same query once for each field, could just clone it) -+ Tatu +- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
