Phrase indexing and searching
Dear list, My Lucene programme is able to index single words and search the most matching documents (based on term frequencies) documents from a corpus to the input document. Now I want to index two word phrases and search the matching corpus documents (based on phrase frequencies) to the input documents. ex:- input document: blue house is very beautiful split it into phrases (say two term phrases) like: blue house house very very beautiful etc. Is it possible to do this with Lucene? If so how can I do it? Thanks, Manjula.

Re: Phrase indexing and searching
Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply. Could you please simply let me know how to embed SingleFilter in the code for both indexing and searching? Coz, different people suggest different snippets to the code and they did not do the job. Thanks, Manjula.

Phrase indexing and searching with Lucene
Hello everybody, In my research work, I use Lucene to index and search into text documents. At present, I just index and search for single words. I want to extend this to phrases (or nGrams). Could anyone please give me more details on how to do it and also point me to some useful references on this? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Have you tried the built-in phrase processing with double quotes? e.g. "this is a phrase"?

RE: Phrase indexing and searching with Lucene
Thank you Erick.
I need first to index phrases, the built-in phrase processing (with double
quotes) comes in the search step.
Is there any difference between :
1) start by indexing phrases and then make a phrase search
2) index terms and then search for phrases
To make things clearer:
What I am doing now:
- In the indexing step: I am using "IndexTermGenerator" to generate term
based indexes, one index for all queries I have and another one for documents
(term means single word).
- In the search step : Lucene matches terms in queries index with terms in
documents index.
What I need to do:
- Index phrases ("multi" words) in addition to terms (single words)
- Search for both : phrases and terms
Is there any idea on how to proceed?
Regards
Nada

Re: Phrase indexing and searching with Lucene
I'm still not clear why the built-in phrase query syntax won't work. If I
index the following terms (erick, erickson, thinks, small, thoughts)
in a single field, then searching for "erick erickson" (as a phrase query,
i.e. with double quotes when sent through a query parser or constructing
a PhraseQuery yourself) will generate a hit but "erick thinks" won't
generate a hit (unless you specify slop).
"thinks small thoughts" would also generate a hit
If you're saying that you only want to match on *all* the tokens, i.e.
the only way to get a hit on the above would be to search for
"erick erickson thinks small thoughts", then you can create a
field that's UN_ANALYZED. If you do this, though, beware
that you have to do things like lower-case terms yourself when
indexing.
I have no idea what IndexTermGenerator is or what it does, but I'm
assuming that it just generates single words.
Some examples of what you put in your index and what searches
you expect to return results for your example AND searches you do
NOT want to hit that document would be a great help.
As far as searching for both, constructing a BooleanQuery with regular
TermQuerys and PhraseQuerys would work if you're constructing
your queries programmatically, or just using a Lucene query
like +termfield:word +phrasefield:"erick erickson thinks" would
work. Or, if you just require that the phrase exists you could do
it all in one field like
+field:word +field:"erick erickson thinks"

RE: Phrase indexing and searching with Lucene
Hello,
Thank you Erick for this detailed answer, that makes things clearer in my mind.
>I'm still not clear why the built-in phrase query syntax won't work.
I have programmed a set of java classes (I use Lucene classes) to index and
search into a collection of documents for a set of queries.
To test my system, I use a corpus which consists in a collection of queries (n
queries) and documents (m documents).
I started by creating one index for all queries and another one for all
documents. Then I make the search to match between the queries index and
documents index.
I use a trec evaluation tool to generate a file that gives all hits (matches)
between the queryID and documentID with different scores.
In this first step, I just index terms, therefore the search process (as I have
it now) looks only for term matches between the query terms and the documents
terms.
Now I want to get better results (better matching) by adding phrases to terms.
I don't know exactly whether it makes a difference if I index phrases and terms
(erick, erickson, thinks, small, thoughts, erick erickson, erickson thinks,
small thoughts, erickson thoughts) and then search for both, or just keep the
indexing process as it is (erick, erickson, thinks, small, thoughts) and then
make a search for phrases (PhraseQuery : erick erickson, erickson thinks, small
thoughts, erickson thoughts) and terms.
Any idea?
>Some examples of what you put in your index and what searches

>NOT want to hit that document would be a great help.
input:
*Query*
898Why is the sun bright?
*Documents*
7568 Star, large celestial body composed of gravitationally contained hot
gases emitting electromagnetic radiation, especially light, as a result of
nuclear reactions inside the star. The sun is a star.
7567 The sun has a magnitude of -26.7, inasmuch as it is about 10 billion
times as bright as Sirius in the earth's sky.
output:
qID dID score
898 7568 0,13 (not relevant)
898 7567 1 (relevant)
In this example, Lucene matches document 7567 to be relevant to he query (since
it contains all query terms), however bright here is relative to Sirius (what
we need is to get "sun bright").

Re: Phrase indexing and searching with Lucene
It looks to me like what you're trying to do is akin to document similarity, which I haven't had to delve into. But it's been discussed on the user list a few times, so perhaps your best bet would be to search the mail archives for that topic.
