They are very usefull for german language, because it has many long composite words , created by concatenation of other simple words. This is one of the requirements of our system. Therefore I needed to patch lucene to make QueryParser to allow SufixQueries. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
