in order to help you, we need to understnd what exactly you are doing ... the best way to do this would be if you could post code demonstrating your problem, preferably a self contained example that anyone can compile/run.
you'll also find that the most effective way to get help with a using one of the Lucene projects/libraries is by mailing the specific user communities (ie if you are using java, mail hte java-user list) [EMAIL PROTECTED] is primarily for discusing general issues related to the Lucene top level project -- it has a much loweer subscriber base and is not a good place to ask for help understanding specific problems. -Hoss
