1) the API you are using indicates you are using a fairly old version of Lucene ... I strongly urge you to upgrade, as there have been many improvements and bug fixes ... three have also beeen many methods deprecated and removed, if you start using an old version now (with it's old methods) it will be that much harder to upgrade later.
2) I don't believe QueyParser is striping any characters off, it is your choice of Analyzer that is deciding to eliminate that character (i beielve it's one of the tokenizing characters. If you have a special field for phone number you should consider using a special analyzer for that field (via the PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper) : '415-567-2323'. I need to create a query like +areaCode:"415-". But the : QueryParser is stripping off the hyphen(-). -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
