Hi. I have read some documents about lucene. I have questions about how lucene search for matching words.
I think I got it wrong, but here is what I get out of the text I read: Documents contents fields. In one of the field-value there are terms that are searchable. When the searched term is found in the field it returns the field which says where the document is. Questions: To search if there are more terms that match, you have to search through all documents?????? So every time you search for a word you have to search through all documents?? I thought that when you create a inverted index, you go through all words in the documents and make a list. The list contents words that only appeare once in the list. Each word in the list points out those documents that content that word. And there are a table that says where every document is located. In this way you don't have to search through all documents everytime you do a search. I'm confused... sorry for my English ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
