Take a look at the PrefixQuery and WildcardQuery. PrefixQuery works by finding all terms beginning with the query then constructing a boolean query of them. I assume WildcardQuery works in a similar way. If you have several terms or a short prefix (e.g. a*) you might need to increase the maximum number of clauses allowed in a boolean query because the number of terms might exceed the default (i.e. 1024). -- Miles Barr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Runtime Collective Ltd. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
