hello,

with a SpanFirstQuery I want to realize a "starts with" search -
that seems to work fine. But I have the Problem that I have documents
with multiple titles and I thought I can do a sfq-search for each tiltle
   by adding multiple instances for the specific field:

for (String key : title.getTitel().split("\\n")  ) {
titleDocument.add(new Field("TI", key, Field.Store.NO,
Field.Index.TOKENIZED));
}

but that didn't work. The query finds only matches for the first token
in that field of a document.

Is there a way to do a SpanFirstQuery for each token?

tia,
martin

: for (String key : title.getTitel().split("\\n")  ) {
: titleDocument.add(new Field("TI", key, Field.Store.NO,
: Field.Index.TOKENIZED));
: }

that adds each new title one after the other with your analyzers
"getPositionIncrimentGap" in between them.

: but that didn't work. The query finds only matches for the first token
: in that field of a document.

you can insert an arbitrary marker token in between each title and search
for it with a spannearquery ... serach the archive for "sentence boundary"
or "page boundary"
