Hi Ron, There was a discussion about this some time back, which I implemented (with great success btw) in my own code...basically you store both the analyzed and non-analyzed versions (use string type) in the index, then send in a query like this:
+name:clarke name_s:"clarke"^100 The name field is text so it will analyze down "clarke" to "clark" but it will match both "clark" and "clarke" and the second clause would boost the entry with "clarke" up to the top, which you then select with rows=1. -sujit On Tue, 2011-08-16 at 10:20 -0500, Olson, Ron wrote: > Hi all- > > I'm missing something fundamental yet I've been unable to find the definitive > answer for exact name matching.
