Hello list, the dismax query type has one feature that is particularly nice... the ability to expand tokens to a query to many fields. This is really useful to do such jobs as "prefer a match in title, prefer exact matches over stemmed matches over phonetic matches".
My problem: I wish to do the same with the normal Lucene query type because I wish to enable power users to use some syntax if they wish but I would still like to expand on searches in the default field that are on the top level. So I wrote my own code that filters the top level queries and expands them, using a similar instruction as dismax within a particular query component. Question 1: doesn't such a code already exist? (I haven't found it) Question 2: should I rather make a QParserPlugin? (the javadoc is not very helpful) thanks in advance paul
