Chris Male commented on LUCENE-4369: ------------------------------------ I'm +1 for renaming this field (and even considering its long term future) I'm just not sure how MatchOnlyField conveys the fact it bypasses analysis? > StringFields name is unintuitive and not helpful > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-4369 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4369 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Robert Muir > > There's a huge difference between TextField and StringField, StringField > screws up scoring and bypasses your Analyzer. > (see java-user thread "Custom Analyzer Not Called When Indexing" as an > example.) > The name we use here is vital, otherwise people will get bad results. > I think we should rename StringField to MatchOnlyField. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
