No, I mean that you use an additional field (indexed) for searching (i.e. whitespace-tokenized, so every word - seperated by a whitespace - becomes to a token . So you have got two fields (shingle-token-field and single-token-field). So you can search accross both fields. This provides several benefits: i.e. you can boost the shingle-field at query-time, since a match in a shingle-field would mean, that there matches an exact phrase.
Additionally: You can search with single-word-queries as well as multi-word-queries. Furthermore you can apply synonyms to your single-token-field. If you want to keep your index as small as possible but as large as needed, try to understand Lucene's similarity implementation to consider, whether you can set the field option "omitNorms"=true or omitTermFreqAndPositions="true". http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_0_1/api/all/org/apache/lucene/search/Similarity.html Keep in mind what happens, if you omit one of those options. A small example of the consequences of setting omitNorms = true;. doc1: "this is a short example doc" doc2: "this is a longer example doc for presenting the effect of omitNorms" If you are searching for "doc" while omitNorms=false your response will look like this: doc1, doc2 This is because the norm-value for doc1 is smaller as the norm-value for doc2, because doc1 is shorter than doc2 (have a look at the provided link). If omitNorms=true, the scores for both docs will be equal. Kind regards, - Mitch scott chu wrote: > > I don't quite understand additional-field-way?
