I am playing around with Lucene.net to try and get a handle of how to implement it in my application.
I have the following code
.....
// Add 2 documents
var doc1 = new Document();
var doc2 = new Document();
doc1.Add(new Field("id", "doc1", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED));
doc1.Add(new Field("content", "This is my first document", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED));
doc2.Add(new Field("id", "doc2", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED));
doc2.Add(new Field("content", "The big red fox jumped", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED));
writer.AddDocument(doc1);
writer.AddDocument(doc2);
writer.Optimize();
writer.Close();
// Search for doc2
var parser = new QueryParser(Lucene.Net.Util.Version.LUCENE_29, "content", new StandardAnalyzer(Lucene.Net.Util.Version.LUCENE_29));
var query = parser.Parse("big abcdefg test1234");
var searcher = new IndexSearcher(indexDirectory, true);
var hits = searcher.Search(query);
Assert.AreEqual(1, hits.Length());
var document = hits.Doc(0);
Assert.AreEqual("doc2", document.Get("id"));
Assert.AreEqual("The big red fox jumped", document.Get("content"));
This test passes, which dismays me a bit. I assume this means that Lucene.Net uses OR for searches between terms and not an AND, but I can't find any information on how to actually perform an AND search.
The end result I am going for is if someone searches for "Matthew Anderson" I don't want it to bring up documents that refer to "Matthew Doe" , as that isn't relevant in any way, shape or form.
