What stats are you concerned about? idf is field specific, so extra fields don't affect scoring. > and bloats the index for searching. The space would be the same (having the two fields in the same index), and the only searching difference should be when trying to find a term, an additional step in the binary search will be needed to find the nearest index term. That should be negligible. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
