Can Lucene do a “search within search”, so that the second search is constrained by the results of the first query?
Yes. There are two primary options: • Use QueryFilter with the previous query as the filter. (you can search the mailing list archives for QueryFilter and Doug Cutting’s recommendations against using it for this purpose) • Combine the previous query with the current query using BooleanQuery, using the previous query as required. The BooleanQuery approach is the recommended one.
