I've made a "hack"-solution for this. It basically makes a BooleanQuery with
alot of OR-branches. Each OR option corresponds to a complete phrase, and
like in the code for PrefixQuery I take the last term in the phrase I want
to search for and make a TermEnumeration and find all the terms that has the
search-term as the prefix. For each of those I make a complete PhraseQuery.
A solution where it was possible to add an array of terms instead of a
single term, to a PhraseQuery would most likely perform alot better.
-------------------------------------
public
class PhrasePrefixQuery
{
public static Query getQuery(IndexReader reader, Term[] terms)
{
Term prefixTerm = terms[terms.length-1];
TermEnum enum = null;
BooleanQuery result = new BooleanQuery();
try {
enum = reader.terms(prefixTerm);
do {
Term term = enum.term();
if (term != null &&
term.text().startsWith(prefixTerm.text()) && term.field() ==
prefixTerm.field()) {
PhraseQuery pq = new PhraseQuery();
for (int i=0;i<terms.length;i++) {
if (i == terms.length-1)
pq.add(term);
else
pq.add(terms[i]);
}
result.add(pq, false, false);
}
else
break;
}
while (enum.next());
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
if (enum != null)
try {
enum.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return result;
}
}

Subject: prefix query with multiple words
Hey all-
Wondering if it's possible to a prefix query, but with multiple words;
basically trying to get
+artist:"eric clap*"
to return documents with artists "eric clap", "eric clapton", "eric
claptonean", etc.
You can get close by parsing into multiple words first and prefixing the
last word (i.e. "Eric Clap" -> +artist:eric +artist:clap*), but this also
gives you results that have the phrase in the wrong order (i.e. returns
results with artist "clap eric")
Is there any way to do this right?
Thanks,
Tom
