What do others think?
For the StandardAnalyzer this might work, but for the GermanAnalyzer, there is also the problem with Umlauts (�,�,�) turned into vowels (a,o,u) while indexing. An example: "H�user" is the plural of "Haus". If I index "H�user" it is stemmed to "hau". If I do for example a search for "h�us*" nothing is found, because "h�us" is not stemmed. If I would analyze "h�us*" I should get "hau*". The problem is, that now you do not only get "H�user" but also "Haus" as result. But I think it is better to get more results than no result. This is perhaps a special problem with the GermanAnalyzer. May be there could be an option to use the Analyzer also for wildcard queries. So I can turn it on in my case and defaults to off. Hope you understand my problem ;) Regards Christoph ps: Lucene otherwise really rocks ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
