Model used in Lucene 1.4.3

Dear Mailing list,
I'm analyzing for university a desktop search engine that uses Lucene as backend, unfortunatelly it uses an olds version, I'd like to know if version 1.4.3 already used an hybrid model between VSM and boolean or what other model dit it used.
Can someone help me with this "legacy" system?

Re: Model used in Lucene 1.4.3 [In reply to]

Hi Marco,

The documentation for version 1.4.3 is available online - if you go to:

<http://lucene.apache.org/java>

and in the menu on the left click on the (Site Versions > 1.4.3) link,
you'll go here:

<http://lucene.apache.org/java/1_4_3/>

AFAIK, Lucene has always used a hybrid VSM/Boolean model, although it
should be noted that Lucene's Required/Prohibited/Optional
BooleanClauses (in more recent Lucene parlance, these are MUST/MUST
NOT/SHOULD) are not exactly equivalent to the standard Boolean model.

In November 2002, Doug Cutting committed changes enabling scoring API
extensibility, to allow applications to plug in different models. These
changes were first released in version 1.3 (2003-12-26). Since then,
however, no patches implementing alternative models have been submitted.
