Greetings,
I am struggling with the following. Say I want to use Lucene to search a corporate phone book where I have workers from a database: Workers ------- John Douglas Davis Raymond My first thought was to create a field called workers and put all the names in it: worker: john douglas davis raymond This works ok except now a search for "douglas davis" returns a hit, when no such person exists. So to fix, create a workers field for every person: worker: john douglas worker: davis raymond Ok all set, because I can just prepend "worker:" to any search. But now say I want to add a new category called 'manager': Managers -------- Mark Smith Pearson Jones I can do the same thing, but now I have two field types, and the search input is getting more complex. All I want to do is have one big field with a separator where I need it: content: john douglas \n davis raymond \n mark smith \n pearson jones But when I try this, the "\n" character is treated as a space, so phrase searches find people that do not exist. Now I think I can make a custom filter to fix this, but is there an easy way to do this? Is there a puncuation character that 'splits' text to avoid phrase search hits? Is there an 'aggregate field' or 'field inheritance' function, such as content=<worker>+<manager>?
