Paul,

Can you give us a concrete input/output (you wanted) with mapping table
so that I can understand what you want?

Thanks,

Koji
Sure

charConvertMap.add("!!!","ApostropheApostropheApostrophe");
charConvertMap.add("*** ***","StarStarStar");
charConvertMap.add("!","Apostrophe");

Normally, punctuation gets removed during index and searching which is what I 
want for good search
results but when the token only contains specific punctuation strings I don't 
want to remove the
punctuation because it would make it impossible to match, so I convert it to a 
textual representation.

As it stands in the 3rd case '!' will be preserved wherever it is found, so to 
get a good match on
'Wow!' you would have to search for 'Wow!. But I want you to be able to search 
for 'Wow' and it
return 'Wow!' which is the case if "!" isn't in the char convert map, but if 
you searched for '!' I
want it to return the token which is just '!' which is only the case if the 
value is added to the map.

I need to do this because the text we are indexing and searching are short 
strings representing an
music artist name (there is an artist called !!!)

thanks Paul


Hi Paul,

Still I'm not sure I understand your issue correctly, but if you want:

query="Wow!" result="Wow!"
query="Wow"  result="Wow!"
query="!"    result="Wow!"
query="!!!"  result="!!!"

does the following maps solve your problem?
(I assume you use Whitespace-type-Tokenizer here)

charConvertMap.add("!!!","ApostropheApostropheApostrophe");
charConvertMap.add("!"," Apostrophe");  // there is a space in front of "!"
