- Support for Search Term Highlighting
  c.f.

  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/BrowseList?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&by=thread&from=56403

- Better support for hits sorted by things other than score.
  An easy, efficient case is to support results sorted by the order documents were
  added to the index.  A little harder and less efficient is support for
  results sorted by an arbitrary field.
  c.f.

- Add ability to "boost" individual documents/fields.
  When a document is indexed, a numeric "boost" value could be specified for the whole
  document, and/or for individual fields.  This value would be multipled into
  scores for hits on this document.  This would facilitate the implementation of
  things like Google's PageRank.
  c.f.

  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=114757

- Add to FSDirectory the ability to disable the use of lock files altogether (for read-only media).
  Status: COMPLETED

- Add some requested methods:
    String[] Document.getValues(String fieldName);
    String[] IndexReader.getIndexedFields();
    void Token.setPositionIncrement(int);
  c.f.
  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=330010
  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=330009

- Péter Halácsy's changes to the QueryParser that make it possible to
  programmatically specify a default operator (OR or AND).
  c.f.
  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=115677
  Status: COMPLETED

- The recenly submitted code that allows for queries such as
  "Microsoft suc*" to match "Microsoft success" and "Microsoft sucks".
  c.f.
  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=333275
  Status: COMPLETED

- Make package protected abstract methods of org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher
  public (I'd like to be able to make subclasses of Searcher, IndexWriter, InderReader).
  c.f.
  http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&format=short&config=lucene-dev_jakarta_apache_org&restrict=&exclude=&words=IndexAccessControl
  Status: COMPLETED

- Add lastModified() method to Directory, FSDirectory and RamDirectory, so
  it could be cached in IndexWriter/Searcher manager.

- Support for adding more than 1 term to the same position.
  N.B. I think the Finnish lady already implemented this.  It required some
  pieces of Lucene to be modified. (OG).

- The ability to retrieve the number of occurences not only for a term
  but also for a Phrase.
  c.f.
  http://www.mail-archive.com/lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg00101.html

- Alex Murzaku contributed some code for dealing with Russian.
  c.f.
  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=115631

- A lady from Finland submitted code for handling Finnish.

- Dutch stemmer, analyzer, etc.
  c.f.
  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgNo=145

- French stemmer, analyzer, etc.
  c.f.
  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/BrowseList?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&by=thread&from=56256

- Che Dong's CJKTokenizer for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
  c.f.
  http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=330905

- Selecting a language-specific analyzer according to a locale.
  Now we rewrite parts of lucene codes in order to use another
  analyzer. It will be useful to select analyzer without touching codes.

- Adding "-encoding" option and encoding-sensitive methods to tools.
  Current tools needs minor changes on a Japanese (and other language)
  environment: adding an "-encode" option and argument, useing
  Reader/Writer classes instead of InputStream/OutputStream classes, etc.
