Search result grouping

[David Smith <da...@nzcity.co.nz>]

I have built an index of websites for a regional search site.  My next task
with the results is to group the results by site.  i.e. if a search for
'doctor' returned www.site1/services/medical.html the result I want would be
www.site1/ 

Does lucene do this?  Or are there any links, pointers to how I might go
about this?

I'm using Lucene.Net 2.0.0 downloaded from the repository about 1 month ago.

Assuming I understood your requirement, I don't believe there is anything
Lucene has to offer out of the box to do this.

One solution is to store a field for each document you index which has the
top level of the URL stored as www.site1/  When you get your hit result
back, you have to filter out any hit which doesn't contain www.site1/
