(disclaimer: i've never acctaully used the SpellChecker contib, just read the docs)
: I've been reading through the spelling correction API and I'm confused. : It looks like you tell it the directory to hold the spelling correction : DB and then give it an IndexReader and a field to retrieve spelling : suggestions from. not exactly: you start by constructing a SpellChecker instance specifying the Directory it should use to store it's built up datastructures (which just so happen to be a Lucene index with a special set of fields) now you have an empty SpellChecker oject. You can then call the indexDictionary method passing it anything you want that impliments the Dictionary interface -- a handy LuceneDictionary implimentations is provided so you can add all of hte words in a field of your choice from an existing Lucene index. now you've got a populated SpellChecker object that's usable. you can make other instances of it in the future by resuing the same Directory. : But then I'd have to redo that operation everytime a new document was : indexed. There didn't seem to be any apparent way to incrementally add : new documents without creating my own dictionary by splitting up words : from the incoming document. just call the indexDictionary method again on some simple Dictionary implimentation and the new words will be added. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
