CI Zend Lucene Searching - El Forum - 03-26-2013

[eluser]rmccallum[/eluser]
Hi guys, looking for some help using Lucene.

An existing site has Lucene searching and indexing in place using a freetext search form in the header. This submits data to a search controller which queries the index files in Search for results based on the input->post('search_query').

I would like to add in filtering for a number of categories. The categories have already been included in the index files for the data but I cannot pass in an array to the find() function.

Can anyone help out here?

I can always do filtering afterwards (as in get back all results matching the freetext then prune based on the categories selected) but i would prefer a more elegant solution.

Regards,
Rob.
