Hey Guys,

I just checked my Lucene results. It shows a document with the word hit
"change" when I am searching for "Chan", and it considers that as a hit. Is
there a way to stop this and show just the exact word match ?

I started using Lucene yesterday, so I am fairly new !

thanks

Are you sure that the hit wasn't on "w" or "kim"? The
default for searching is OR...

I recommend that you get a copy of Luke (google lucene luke)
which allows you to examine your index as well as see how
queries parse using various analyzers. It's an invaluable tool...

Best
Erick
