[FIXED] How to partial search over lucene index? (search some documents, not all)

Issue

Not sure if the tittle is correct for the purpose, but what i want is to be able to search only few documents (and not all) from a lucene index.

Think about it as the following context:

The user wants to search inside a book, which is indexed on lucene, chapter by chapter (every chapter corresponds to a document). The user needs to be able to select the chapters he wants to search in, avoiding irrelevant occurences for his study.

Is that possible to restrict the search to only some documents? or do i have to search ALL index and then filter the results?

Thank you!

Solution

Lucene allows you to apply Query Filters, so that you can restrict the results only for those which match the filter criteria.
So basically you can search for chapter:chapter1 and the search will be limited only for chapter one documents
