I guess I don't see it this way. It may be convenient for us, but its inconvenient for new users, as they see it as 'lucene's default'. No one wants to do more work than is necessary: currently a lot of people use StandardAnalyzer for this reason, maybe without a lot of thought. but this is ok. StandardAnalyzer at least does things like lowercasing. > For those who do care, they anyway pay attention to it :). I see it as the inverse: I would rather our tests have "new WhitespaceAnalyzer" than see users complain on java-user mailing list that lucene doesn't ignore case differences or punctuation, because they don't need to think about this. Whitespace is a shitty default for a search engine, its only good for tests. -- Robert Muir rcm...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
