I have a field called "category".
Sample data for "category:
Hello World
Goodbye World
Foo Bar
Mad Mad Mad Mad World
It is tokenized and stored in the index. I tokenize the field because I may
want to search on a specific word(s) in a category but not necessarily the
entire category.
However, I also would like to offer a select box in my web application that
gives the end user the distinct list of stored values for the category
field, which they could choose one of to search on.
I have tried what most people recommend in this forum, use
IndexReader.terms("cateogry") and enumerate that list.
However, obviously this returns the list of distinct terms,
Hello , World , Goodbye , Foo , Bar , Mad
not the list of distinct stored values,
Hello World , Goodbye World , Foo Bar , Mad Mad Mad Mad World
I could add another field to the index that is not tokenized and then
enumerate the terms for that new field, but this seems like a hack, and it
would also add size to the index in that I would be duplicating data for the
category for each document.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Tim
