Hi all, I have recently started to learn about Lucene and I'm a little confused about how Filters work. I am going through the "Lucene in Action" book and did some Internet research, but haven't found an answer yet, hence this email...
>From basic experimentation, I know that Filters work on the entire document set (before the inverted index is looked up). Why not run the filters on the hits after the index lookup? That'd reduce the number of filter executions...I don't imagine that running the filters first would effectively reduce the size of the index (making the lookup faster). Any guidance is much appreciated! Thanks in advance,
