Hi Timo!
There is no built-in way in Lucene to achieve this. I have done a simple
implementation with a patched FuzzyQuery for each term. A new method
(bestOrderRewrite) returns a ordered list of all fuzzy terms that indeed exist in
index. There is no guarantee that the suggested term is spelled correct though...
Basically this works best when search is done on one term only.
Search code is something like this:
// on no_hits
cquery = cquery.rewrite(reader);
if (cquery instanceof TermQuery) {
// if search contained only one term this is a TermQuery instance
FuzzyQuery fquery = new FuzzyQuery(new Term("contents",
cquery.toString("contents")));
TermQuery[] terms = fquery.bestOrderRewrite(reader);
if (terms.length > 0) {
StringBuffer alts = new StringBuffer();
alts.append("Did you mean ").append(terms[0].getTerm().text());
}
} else if (cquery instanceof BooleanQuery) {
// split queries
// <snip>
BooleanClause[] clauses = ((BooleanQuery)cquery).getClauses();
// get suggestion for each term
if (clauses[i].required) {
FuzzyQuery fquery = new FuzzyQuery(new Term("contents",
clauses[i].query.toString("contents")));
TermQuery[] terms = fquery.bestOrderRewrite(reader);
// ...
}
// </snip>
} // and so on...
Regards,
Ronnie
