Thanks Jayan, Even though in my email I had my search terms in quotes, I wasn't actually searching them like that. But I tried those two terms with quotes and I could get the same number of results as well.
Searching "PH0110/06*", even with quotes, still won't give me any results though. Thanks Jennifer hi! Just a quick search gave me these results. "PH0110?*" gave me 733 records "PH0110/*" gave me 733 records identifier:PH0110 gave me 728 records Jayan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 6/5/2008 10:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dspace-tech] Lucene and Wildcard searching This question is probably more a Lucene one, but since DSpace is using it's own analyzer, I'm hoping I might get the answer (or a push in the right direction?) here. Using Dspace 1.4.2. In our repository we have a couple of thousand images that each have their own unique identifier, which we have placed in the dc.identifier.other field, in the format of PH0110/0570 or PH0745/0003. http://www.territorystories.nt.gov.au <-- Here if you want to have a look. dc.identifier is being indexed, and searching for the full identifier is no problem. The interesting stuff starts happening when we use wildcards. If I search "PH0110*", you get the results you would expect, with all the images with their identifier starting with this string. However if I search "PH0110/*", I get no results. I checked and '/' does not seem to be an escaped character, so I'm not sure why it would be interfering. Also if I try to search "PH0110/06*", I get no results. What we actually wanted to do was to be able to search and retrieve all the records with identifiers from PH0110/0600 to PH0110/0700. I also tried searching with "identifier:[PH0110/0600 TO PH0110/0700]", but also came up with no results. I was going to try and use Luke, but haven't had much success (is there a unix command line based version of Luke?). If anyone has any solutions/suggestions please let me know.
