I see your point, but I have to ask whether this is a practical or a theoretical problem? If it's a practical one, perhaps you'd be willing to talk about the issue you're actually trying to solve and maybe we can come up with a solution within the current framework. I know others on the list have used multiple indexes to solve their particular problem, and maybe they'd have insights.
Have you tried to use the termdocs/termeunm interfaces to solve your issue and is it too slow? I Best Erick On 12/19/06, Antonio Bruno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The problem in reality consists on the fact to have an only dictionary of the terms for all the fields. If the dictionary of the terms is the many large performances of a search they diminish, even if the search is made on a single term. Then it would be wanted to be able to index the fields of a single document on more various indices. In such a way when if I want to create a filter on a field I use only a precise index that has a dictionary of the terms whose largeness is function only of the terms of that field. In so far as I mean that the searches would be efficient to the maximum. You notice yourself that the this case does not have nothing to that to see with the MultiSearcher… I succeed to explain to me? How could be made one what of this type at the moment?
