match to non tokenizable word ("helloworld")

[siping liu <si...@hotmail.com>]

I get no match when searching for "helloworld", even though I have "hello world" in my index. How do people usually deal with this? Write a custom analyzer, with help from a collection of all dictionary words?

 

thanks for suggestions/comments.

You might want to look at ngrams and/or shingles. In this
case I suspect that ngrams are better suited, I don't
think shingles applies with the direction you stated, but
your problem description is so short I thought I'd mention
it.

Although your collection of words can work (think synonyms) if you have a
pre-determined, probably small, list of equivalencies...
