Hi Alex. Looks to me like you have a classpath problem - you're running with a version other than 1.3 final. Earlier versions of Lucene didn't have the 2 methods in your error messages. You'll need to check your classpath settings carefully.

It takes a query like "foo bar*" and, using the actual terms found in an index turns the query into "foo bar barstool bark ...". Doing this can be expensive (it can generate MANY search terms) so it doesn't make sense to do it once as part of searching and once again as part of highlighting. Thats why its suggested you rewrite the query yourself once and pass the rewritten query to the searcher and the highlighter. The searcher internally will attempt to rewrite the expanded query again but this will cost very little as there's no expensive term expansion to be done (bar* has already been resolved). Hope this makes sense. Cheers, Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
