Chris: I didn't understand how your first solution would work, so I tried it. The terms I extracted from the rewritten query were just the four raw terms, i.e.
field1:query1 field1:query3 field2:query2 field2:query4. So iterating over and deleting them term by term wouldn't preserve the sense of the original query (field1:query1 AND field2:query2) OR (field1:query3 AND field2:query4) and would delete (presumably) more documents than just the documents matching the query. So what am I missing? Thanks Erick On 8/19/07, Chris Hostetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > : Is there a way to delete the results from a query or a filter and not > : documents specified by Term.
