Hi! First of all, I've read about BooleanQuery$TooManyClauses, so I know that it has a 1024 Clauses limit by default which is good enough for me, but I still think it works strange.
Example: I have an index with about 20Million documents. Let's say that there is about 3000 variants in the entire document set of this word mask: cab* Let's say that about 500 documents are containing the word: spectrum Now, when I search for "cab* AND spectrum", I don't expect it to throw an exception. It should first restrict the search for the 500 documents containing the word "spectrum", then it should collect the variants of "cab*" withing these documents, which turns out in two or three variants of "cab*" (cable, cables, maybe some more) and the search should return let's say 10 documents. Similar example: When I search for "cab* AND nonexistingword" it still throws a TooManyClauses exception instead of saying "No results", since there is no "nonexistingword" in my document set, so it doesn't even have to start collecting the variations of "cab*". Is there any path for this issue? Thank you for your time! Sanyi (I'm using: lucene 1.4.2) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
