I'm a newbie, but I could suggest this: BooleanQuery bq = new BooleanQuery(); bq.add(firstQuery, true, false); bq.add(secondQuery, false, true);
That should make the first query required, and the second one prohibited, which is like saying "+firstQuery -secondQuery" I haven't tried this myself but I did try this for an either/or combination, and it does work for me. -----Original Message----- From: alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 10:54 AM To: Lucene User Subject: how to join 2 queries togther hi all I have a method which takes in a normal query breaks into token and places + in front it I have a second method which does the same instead puts a - sign front the token the reason i have done this is so that the user do not need to add + and - signs by themselfs and also I cound not get the booleanQuery to work this makes it so that i have 2 queries 1) a file must contain all these words 2) a file must exclude this words my question is how do join these 2 queries togther so it filters out words that i want and do not want ?
