Would something like the following work for you? BooleanQuery bq = new BooleanQuery(); bq.add(your built-up query); bq.add(your not clause, MUSTNOT);
Now you can use your bq as your query to search. NOTE: there is continual confusion what the - syntax really does, you might want to search the mail archive for one of several explications if you are thinking of the NOT operator like a boolean logic operator. It's not, quite. On 1/10/07, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
how can I filter my search to not include items containing a particular field and value? I want effectively to add -myfieldname:myvalue to the end of my search query, but I cant see how to do this via the api. I have a complex query built up via the api and just want to filter it based on field name/value pairs. I'm sure it must be simple - I just cant see how to do it. thanks.
