I just need a little confirmation of my understanding here. If i say that a field is to be stored, the entire thing is written to the index. It might also be indexed in a tokenized fasion if i also specify that.
What are the advantages to storing a field then? So you can search for that field? Just so you can retrieve that field's value when you get a hit on the document via another field? Also along thes lines, if i don't "store" a field, can I still do my search based upon that field?
