I thank you both. I have it already partly implemented here. It seems easy. At least this should carry through my product until I can really get to use Lucene. I am not sure how far I can take MySql with stemmed, indexed key words, but should give me maybe 6 monthes at least of something use

This is so cool Otis. I was just to write this off of something in the FAQ, but this is better then what I was doing. This rocks!!! Thank you. JohnE P.S.: I am assuming you use org.apache.lucene.analysis.Token? There are three Token's under Lucene. - Original Message - From: Ot

Is there a way to use Lucene stemming and stop word removal without using the rest of the tool? I am downloading the code now, but I imagine the answer might be deeply burried. I would like to be able to send in a phrase and get back a collection of keywords if possible. I am thinking of us

It really seems like I am not the only person having this issue. So far I am seeing 2 solutions and honestly I don't love either totally. I am thinking that without changes to Lucene itself, the best "general" way to implement this might be to have a queue of changes and have Lucene work off t

I am new to Lucene, but have a large project in production on the web using other apache software including Tomcat, Struts, OJB, and others. The database I need to support will hopefully grow to millions of records. Right now it only has thousands but it is growing. These documents get upda
