Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4369:
-------------------------------------
I like ExactMatchField too.
I thought about Keyword too, but my concern is that this would get confused
with 'search keywords' such as
the type used in META section of html documents. We could argue about the best
field type for that :) but
I don't think this is it.

> 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.
