Use BitSets to intersect the two queries. First knock up a HitCollector that generates a bit set for the document set you want to search (A,B,C,X,Y,Z). Then do another query generating a bit set for the criteria on (C,X,Y). Then just interest the two bits sets using the "and" method.

In the app I am writing before I start searching with Lucene I know all the documents that I want to search. For example I have documents A,B,C,X,Y,Z so before I start the search I know that I only want to search docs C,X,Y due to other non lucene criteria. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
