Re: Search for foo&bar is not woking - only foobar works

[Otis Gospodnetic <ot...@yahoo.com>]

Your Analyzer may be stripping the & character.
Also note that if you are using QueryParser, & character has a special
meaning there.
The easiest solution is to write your own Analyzer (if a suitable one
does not exist) and instead of using QueryParser create queries
programmatically.

Any avaliable "presentation" files for lucene? (eg: in .PPT)

[Harun Altay <ha...@grids.ucs.indiana.edu>]

Hello,

As a student, I want to make a presentation on lucene and related searching
technologies. If anyone have a presentation material, for example as a
PowerPoint file, it will possibly be helpful for me. I appreciate your help,

thanks in advance,

Harun.
