Using '*' wildcard in phrase searches

[Albert Vila <av...@imente.com>]

I wanna use the * in the middle of a phrase search like "java j2*". 
Anyone knows how can i achieve that?

Thanks,
Albert

QueryParser is not the appropriate place to get the information you 
want.  Use IndexReader instead.

reader.document(0) and reader.document(reader.numDocs() - 1)  (assuming 
an optimized index with no deleted documents).

Lucene won't really be able to help, I don't think.  If you need this 
type of information, you probably should tally it during indexing.  You 
could certainly do some tricks with IndexReader to determine how terms 
and bytes and such a document takes up in Lucene, but I'm not sure that 
would be the best solution for what you're after.

Again, probably should tally this during indexing.  If you want to know 
the index size, look at the file system and see how big the files in 
the index directory are.  This is not the size of the original 
documents indexed - in fact, Lucene would really have no way of knowing 
that.

IndexReader.numDocs()

How to use QueryParser to query to get the index summary info?

[Alex Aw Seat Kiong <al...@bigonthenet.com>]

Hi!

How to use QueryParser to query to get the index summary info, like?
a. Last and first index document? 
b. Size of each document was indexed?
b. Total size of all documents were indexed?
c. Total count of all documents were indexed?
Anyone know about it?

Thanks.

Regards,
Alex

This is not possible with QueryParser, currently.

But through the API, you could (and it would take a little bit of code 
- see Lucene's test cases for more details) use a PhrasePrefixQuery to 
do this - it boils down to you manually expanding all the terms for 
j2*.
