Hi, it also depends on the complexity of your critical apparatus, but you could just use a custom analyzer which injects "synonyms" (here variants) of your tokens in THE SAME POSITION as the original word. This way a search will match both "daddy" and "happy".

Example: if a publisher isn't sure if Shakespeare wrote "To be or not to be happy" or "To be or not to be daddy", he will put the 'best' word (eg. 'happy') in the full text and the second option (eg. 'daddy') in the "notes" at the bottom of a page. Now, our customer wants to search for "to be daddy" and find "to be happy". So, if I could index "daddy" at the same position as "happy" , I would be very happy too. Of course you can think of a solution where one would index the full text for each version, but this is not sustainable when the number of "multiple occupation of a single position" increase. I have been looking at the 'next()' method of the 'Tokenizer' class, but I haven't found the solution (yet). Thanks in advance to all who reply. Jeroen
