This is a typical restriction for inverted index-based search engines. You need to have at least one positive term or the computation is too expensive (it would have to iterate over every term ever seen.) It's true of Ferret, Google, etc. -- William <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
