Lucene might be overkill, but indeed it can solve this. So if it's not way too slow, you might just go ahead and use Lucene, as building this from scratch could be a fair amount of work. However, if Lucene is not giving you adequate performance for this task, then you might just try rewriting your queries as regular expressions and then the text of each document to see if it matches. This may be difficult if you're depending on Lucene's analysis modules to perform stemming, etc. Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
