: I dump the doc files into a text file with the same variable I use in : the Lucene doc.add(Field.UnStored("content", textStr));| and they look : fine in the file. However searches return nothing.
if i'm reading that sentence correctly, then you are saying that you've tried isolating your MS-Word text extraction from your Lucene indexing and confirmed that the MS-Word text extraction is working. This is a very good first step. Now if you want to be certain that your indexing is working correclty, i suggest you try using a tool like Luke to check exactly what terms re being stored in your index. I'm guessing that the problems you are having are a result of "analysis paralysis" as i've seen it called many times... This wiki covers a lot of things you should check... http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/LuceneFAQ#head-3558e5121806fb4fce80fc022d889484a9248b71 -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
