print results of wildcard search in Lucene

[Paulius Matulionis]

Hello everyone,

I'm searching using wildcard search.
For e.g I'm searching for String hou*

And I want to print all results for e.g:
house
houses
housewives and so on...

I'm using this :

    
Term term = new Term("fieldname", word);
Query query = new WildcardQuery(term);

int hitsPerPage = 50;
IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(directory, true);
TopScoreDocCollector collector = TopScoreDocCollector.create(hitsPerPage, true);
searcher.search(query, collector);
ScoreDoc[] hits = collector.topDocs().scoreDocs;
System.out.println("Found " + hits.length + " hits.");
Document hitDoc = null;
for (int i = 0; i < hits.length; ++i) {
???????????????
}

How can I display all words of wildcard search?

Have you read the Lucene in Action book? I think common cases like this are covered in there.

Something like Document doc = searcher.doc(hits[i].doc) will get you the matching document, from which you can get all information that you have stored in the index.

I second the suggestion to get Lucene in Action; it'll save you a lot of time if you're serious about using Lucene.
