Hi,

we are using Seam together with Hibernate Search 3.0.0 GA and need to override Lucenes DefaultSimilarity class with our custom one.

How can I do this? I implemented our custom Similarity, overriding



methods.

Now the Lucene documentation says:
"To make this change, implement your own Similarity (likely you'll want to simply subclass DefaultSimilarity) and then use the new class by calling IndexWriter.setSimilarity before indexing and Searcher.setSimilarity before searching."

How can I pass the new Similarity Implementation to the IndexWriter and the Searcher when using Hibernate Search?

I know, that the latest Beta of HS supports this, but we are using 3.0.0.GA.

Any (fast) help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

Alexander

Hi,

The 3.0.0.GA does not support it and there is not easy extension point in this version for adding your custom Similarity. Could you update to the latest version of Hibernate Search?
