try your query like ((ducted^1000 duct~2) +tape) Or maybe (duct* +tape) or even better you could try to do some stemming (Porter stemmer should get rid of these ed-suffixes) and some of the above
if this does not help, have a look at lingpipe spellChecker class as this looks like exactly what you need. ----- Original Message ---- From: Van Nguyen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, 7 June, 2006 2:49:52 AM Subject: question with spellchecker I'm implementing a spellchecker in my search and have a question. After creating the index and spellchecker index, I pass in the word "ducted tape" to search (I am expecting "duct tape" back). I've played around with boosting the prefixes and suffixes, setting the accuracy, passing in an IndexReader and field to search on and setting 'morePopular' to true, but my search never returns "duct tape". >From the SpellChecker class, I see that for the word "ducted", it tries to find the start3:duc^2.0 end3:ted gram3:duc gram3:uct gram3:cte gram3:ted start4:duct^2.0 end4:cted gram4:duct gram4:ucte gram4:cted I checked to see if the word "duct" even exist in the spellchecker index and it does. I specified a number of similar words to return that exceeds the number of results I get from a above mentioned query to see if I can see all the terms that it the spellchecker is suggesting; but I do not see "duct" as a word that it is even suggested. The list it returns is: [dotted, coated, ductile, plated, vented, mounted, united, listed, ductape, reduced] Anyone have suggestions as to how to proceed from here??
