Re: != queries

Ok, that makes sense. Any suggestions on how to AND that prohibited clause 
with a query to get everything?

I have an index with field "documentNumber". There are 10 documents. One

I want to return all matches where documentNumber != A505*. I should get 
9 docs back.

I construct a query like
wq = WildcardQuery("documentNumber","a505*")
BooleanQuery bq = new BooleanQuery();
bq.addQuery(wq,false,true);
I always get no results for this type of query.
Ideas?
A restriction can only filter out search results and not add to them. So
the search is starting with an empty set, then trying to filter out the
results with a document number starting A505, i.e. doing nothing.
