> That's the point: there is no query optimizer in Lucene. Sorry, I'm not very much into Lucene's internal Classes, I'm just telling your the viewpoint of a user. You know my users aren't technicians, so answers like yours won't make them happy. They will only see that I randomly don't allow them to search (with the 1024 limit). They won't understand why am I displaying "Please restrict your search a bit more.." when they've just searched for "dodge AND vip*" and there are only a few documents mathcing this criteria.
So, is the only way to make them able to search happily by setting the max. clause limit to MaxInt?! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
