We populate a list of terms that users can filter with prefixes. (they type in a text box and as they type the list gets filtered). I was curious, when using reader.Terms(), is there a specific order the terms come out in? the code we use for it is terms = reader.Terms(new Lucene.Net.Index.Term(fieldName, sPrefix)) The terms seem to be sorted alphabetically by field, so if we run past the end of the prefix or the end of the field, is it safe to believe that a term farther down the list won't match the field/prefix combination? ----- Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 2012.0.1901 / Virus Database: 2109/4770 - Release Date: 01/27/12
