Michael,
Thanks for your reply.
You are correct, the desired effect is to not match 'freedom ...'.
I hadn't considered the case where both free* and freedom match.
My solution 'free* and not freedom' would NOT match either of your examples.
I think what I really want is
Get every matching term from a matching document,
and if the term also matches an ignore word, then ignore the match.
I hadn't considered the stopwords approach, I'll look into that.
If I add all the ignore words as stop words, will that effect highlighting?
Are the stopwords still available for highlighting?
Thanks,
David Shifflett

I think what you're saying in you're example is that "free*" should
match anything with a term matching that pattern, but not *only*
freedom. In other words, if a document has "freedom from stupidity"
then it should not match, but if the document has "free freedom from
stupidity" than it should.
Is that correct?
You could apply stopwords, except that it sounds as if this is a
per-user blacklist, and you want them to share the same index?
