Eoin,
Get the cvs version and have a look at:
org/apache/lucene/search/PhrasePrefixQuery.java
It sais:
/**
* PhrasePrefixQuery is a generalized version of PhraseQuery, with an added
* method {@link #add(Term[])}.
* To use this class, to search for the phrase "Microsoft app*" first use
* add(Term) on the term "Microsoft", then find all terms that has "app" as
* prefix using IndexReader.terms(Term), and use PhrasePrefixQuery.add(Term[]
* terms) to add them to the query.
*
* @author Anders Nielsen
* @version 1.0
*/
I don't know whether the query parser in cvs already uses it.
Good luck,
Ype
