How is this different from enabling "QueryStemming" ? Automatic truncation can lead to huge number of results, consider the automatic truncation of author names and short words.
That's a good question. I suppose we'd have to look at how QueryStemming works. At a glance, it only adds right truncation if it was able to stem the operand I think. I think Zebra takes care of manually handling "operand*" type queries... So yeah... I don't know about automatic truncation. I think some users expect it, so they might do a query like "au:fish" and expect to get back results for "Fishburne" as well as "Fisher". If you had QueryStemming on, I doubt "fish" would produce a stemmed operand since it's already a stem, so that probably wouldn't work unless you had automatic right truncation. That said, I don't know if that's a good thing... I personally think explicit truncation/wildcarding is a better idea.. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
