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.
+1. I don't think we should default an Analyzer. I agree that
WhiteSpaceAnalyzer is not a good default. And I don't think
Standard is a good default. I'm in agreement that you should have to
specify to force thinking about it.
