It's our intention to put this into a production environment soon, so we were waiting on 1.3 to go final before attempting to use it. > i wouldn't worry about > memory too much until you've seen it to be a problem. i think you'll > be fine (but don't currently have the understanding or data to back > that up). The reason I split up the indexes by state was that I was running out of memory (and searches were very slow) with the whole world of companies in one index with all kinds of boolean joining. With it split out, it seems to do pretty well. Well, after some extremely brief experimentation (Maybe I shoulda done it before writing the email, huh?) I discovered this: ********************** This worked pretty well and got me some good results - the company that I was looking for came back second (Which is pretty good given how general I made the query) Query> name:(amb proper*) State> california name:(amb proper*) [EMAIL PROTECTED] amb proper* 31988 total matching documents ************* This one matched a ton of documents, however the company I was looking for came up first in the list, though with a pretty abysmal score of 0.23769014 Query> name:(amb prop*) and city:(south san fran*) State> california name:(amb prop*) and city:(south san fran*) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (amb prop*) (city:south city:san city:fran*) 721977 total matching documents **************** The previous query took 1552 millis. I was able to reduce that to 285 millis just by adding the +'s you suggested: Query> name:(amb prop*) and city:(+south +san +fran*) State> california name:(amb prop*) and city:(+south +san +fran*) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (amb prop*) (+city:south +city:san +city:fran*) 45011 total matching documents Incidently, I say everything that I do with great awe at the power of Lucene and respect for those who have made it possible. Please don't take anything I say as a gripe - I'm just learning how things work and that's a neccessary step to take for any new software package of this type. You just have to learn the ins and outs and little quirks to be able to take full advantage of it.
