Erik! Thanks for the response. I'll take a look and see to customizing a solution. Yin

It's certainly true that the inverted index has a list of all documents that contain each term. However the word "hit" is by definition a document with score > 0 given a query, not just a term. Queries can be quite sophisticated. For example, I was very easily able to create an XOR query by using a custom similarity. > Would you know in what java class the call is made to Similarity and > where that code may be commented out, or would it be preferable to > write my own similarity sub-class instead? Similarity use is spread out in several places. Get a good IDE(A!) and surf the code and you'll easily be able to see where methods of Similarity are being used.
