You sort of do it in reverse I think... make the small token take up a bigger amount of space. so for (US | united states) gold medals "US" would have a length of 2 so it would skip ahead to "gold", while "united" and "states" would both have normal values of 1. -Yonik http://lucidworks.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
