Ok... I'll explain the problem that I am facing with an example...
I have several fields for the documents that I index; one of the fields is 'title'. Now I have provided the user with a screen to search for documents with a particular title. Let's assume that the value inputted by the user is 'Project Lifecycle', now I want only the documents with 'Project Lifecycle' as the 'title' field value to be selected and not the documents with title as 'Project Lifecycle Management', etc. I have used exact match but then exact match for 'Project Lifecycle' in the 'title' field will also allow documents with 'Project Lifecycle Management' as the field value to be short-listed, which I want to avoid. How do I accomplish this?

Well, there are lots of techniques for all sorts of tricks with Lucene. What you're basically asking for is an untokenized, indexed field and a TermQuery to find a document with an exact match for a field. Will that work for your situation? If not, give us some more details of why that doesn't work and we'll work from there. Erik > Can I not check the content length somehow?
