Hi Jeff,
Range queries are planned to be one of the first Zend_Search_Lucene
module enhancements as well as wildcard queries.
There is no any special data type for dates in Zend_Search_Lucene.
That's the same for Java Lucene.
Dates should be translated to strings to be indexed.
Best representation is 'YYYYMMDD'. It keeps dates order and gives a
possibility to use range queries for searching dates range.
You can also combine user entered and programmatically generated queries
through the API.
That's useful for translating user entered dates into internal
representation.
With best regards,
Alexander Veremyev.

Hi there
new to the list so wanted to start our by saying thanks to the team and
the community for providing a really great framework.
I am very keen on implementing Lucene in our php environment but am
finding the (apparent) absence of date fields and range queries to be
problematic. Can anyone let me know if these things are
planned,pending,shelved, did I miss them somewhere ? incubator etc?
thanks again.
