Thanks, Jack. Sorry, took me a while to reply :) It sounds like sentence/paragraph level searches won't be easy.

Like, a sentence/paragraph recognizer that inserted sentence and paragraph markers, and a query parser that allows you to do SpanNear and SpanNot (to selectively exclude sentence or paragraph marks based on your granularity of search.) The LucidWorks Search query parser has SpanNot support (or at least did at one point in time), but no sentence/paragraph marking. You could come up with some heuristic regular expressions for sentence and paragraph marks, like consecutive newlines for a paragraph and dot followed by white space for sentence (with some more heuristics for abbreviations.) Or you could have an update processor do the marking. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Alex Cougarman Sent: Monday, April 15, 2013 9:48 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Tokenize on paragraphs and sentences Hi. Is it possible to search within paragraphs or sentences in Solr? The PatternTokenizerFactory uses regular expressions, but how can this be done with plain ASCII docs that don't have <p> tags (HTML), yet they're broken into paragraphs? Thanks. Warm regards, Alex
