Hi all,
I have a few question regarding indexing documents.
1. With my experience of indexing documents with lucene so far I have
done things like:
Doc.Add(Field.Text("album", Album));
Where Album is a string representing an album name. Now with this sort
of indexing what I do is a search such as:
"album:Thriller"
a) Does this mean that I cannot do an search across all fields by
submitting the query:
"Thriller"? In other words by submitting this query would my code
search all fields?
b) Is there a way in which I can index elements of a document without
naming the field. What would the impact of such a use of the indexing
capabilities of Lucene be?
2. Is there a limit to the number of
a) named fields per document that I can store
b) non-named fields per document that I can store
3.
a) Is it possible in Lucene to conduct searches that are very complex
such as:
((album = Thriller AND artist = (Michael OR Jackson)) OR (date between X
AND Y)) AND (label = sony OR Epic) etc...
b) For such a query what are the performance penalties compared to a
simple search involving 1 term?
Cheers
Sachin
