Hi there, I am using Lucene for an actually quite simple search. I am not indexing long texts, but instead each document only has a couple of fields with texts from one word to a very short sentence (no more than 6 words usually). Now I need to find documents even with only two characters typed in by the user.
So for instance, I have a document with only the fields 'hasName', 'hasTechName' and the value 'create'. What I need is to find this document, when the user typed in 'cr'. But at the moment I would at least have to type in 'creat'. The query I send to the QueryParser looks like this "hasName:*cr* OR hasTechName:*cr*" and I pass true to setAllowLeadingWildcard . For collecting the results I use the TopScoreDocCollector. Any suggestions on where I would have to change something to make my search be more "generous"? At the moment I have really no idea what to do...
