Hi Folks, Thanks to Robert and Uwe - I have a solution.
In the end, Robert's suggestion was the easiest to implement so I went with that. Uwe's advice has given me the starting point for my next task and convinced me I need to find a Java 101 course.

So in your example, since it just has KeywordTokenizer, I don't think CharFilter is the easiest way to do what you want. I think you should instead just use a TokenFilter that does your transformation, putting it after KeywordTokenizer. This should be significantly easier to write as you don't need to deal with offset corrections or any of that, just change the term text. -- lucidworks.com
