Just confused by the lucene javadoc. Now doing my testing on that. So the question is: Does lucene provide a way to apply filtering after getting the Hit list "Hits"? For example: Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(INDEX_LOCATION); Query query = QueryParser.parse(queryString, "contents", myAnalyzer); Hits hits = idx_searcher.search(query); //For each of the hits item, I want to check against some other //criteria(in a DB) to see if it should remain in the return hits or not. Seems current the org.apache.lucene.search.Filter implementation can only be applied before the search on every document.    More>>

			

			Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(INDEX_LOCATION);
			

			Query query = QueryParser.parse(queryString, "contents", myAnalyzer);
			

			Hits hits = idx_searcher.search(query);
			

			//For each of the hits item, I want to check against some other
			

			//criteria(in a DB) to see if it should remain in the return hits or not.
