Hi, I have started to use Nutch recently. Congratulations, that's very impressive! I look forward to discovering more about it.
I have been trying to add a custom field to those used by the BasicQueryFilter and found no other way than modifying the code. What I needed was that each term of the original query as was found at least in on of the fields + search all the terms in a phrase query for each field. The latter could easily be done in a separate QueryFilter, but not the former as it would require to parse the boolean query obtained from the BasicQueryFilter and modify the clauses to add my field(s) and assume that the structure does not change etc... Am I missing something? Is there a simple way to do that apart from modifying the code? Would it make sense to modify the BQF so that it could take the name + weights of the fields to use from the config (e.g. search for a parameter name query.field_name.boost)? Let me know if you think that is relevant and I'll send a patch for the BQF. Best, Julien -- http://www.digitalpebble.com Open Source Solutions for Text Engineering
