It was an issue with stemming, it was stemming portions that I did not expect but once 
I looked closer at the analyzer output it made sense. Thanks for the assistance.
                   Thanks again,
                        Kris

Does your analyzer employ stemming? Maybe the ending gets ripped off and the
word is indexed as 'calgarian' or even 'calgar'.

Did you write the Analyzer yourself? I can't find it in any package to see
whether it does stem tokens...

Best Regards,
René
