Hi,
I am working on search using lucene2.0.0. My requirement is to construct a lucene query in the form of string (+contents:java programming +author:xxx) and then this is used to construct lucene query so that it can be searched using lucene searcher. I want to know, how to convert String query into lucene Query? so that it can be searchable. is this possible? I will be thankful if you can send any samples for this. Thanks, Vaasu.
