more then likely what you want is not to use wildcards in phrase queries. what you most likely want is called stemming ... if you google for that word you'll find a lot of good info and if you look in Lucene In Action you'll find examples of stemming in lucene. Stemming is what makes all of these phrases equivilent... Reduces Project Sucess Risks Reduce Project Sucess Risk Reduces Product Sucess Risk Reduce Product Sucess Risks You can in fact make a Phrase query containing wildcards (MultiPhraseQuery is the class to look at) but that would make your example match things like "Reduces Projectionistic Sucession Riskerinorunee" .. probably not what you want. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
