Lucene shows parts of search query as a HIT

Hey folks, I am a new Lucene user , I used the following after indexing: search(searcher, "W. Chan Kim"); Lucene showed me hits of documents where "channel" word existed. Notice that "Chan" is a part of "Channel" . How do I stop this ? I am keen to find the exact word. I used the following, b

Re: Lucene shows parts of search query as a HIT

Are you sure that the hit wasn't on "w" or "kim"? The default for searching is OR... I recommend that you get a copy of Luke (google lucene luke) which allows you to examine your index as well as see how queries parse using various analyzers. It's an invaluable tool... Best Erick On 7/18/07, As

Re: Lucene shows parts of search query as a HIT

Hey Guys, I just checked my Lucene results. It shows a document with the word hit "change" when I am searching for "Chan", and it considers that as a hit. Is there a way to stop this and show just the exact word match ? I started using Lucene yesterday, so I am fairly new ! thanks AZ On 7/18/0

RE: Lucene shows parts of search query as a HIT

Re: Lucene shows parts of search query as a HIT

Re: Lucene shows parts of search query as a HIT

Hey guys, Thanks for all the response. One more thing, I am accessing my documents like this: for (int i = 0; i < hitCount; i++) { Document doc = hits.doc(i); System.out.println(" " + (i + 1) + ". " + doc.get("item")); } This shows me the item value.
