Hi, The easiest is to use PatternTokenizer as part of your analyzer. It uses a regular expression to split words. Just use some regular expression that matches unicode ranges for numbers and digits.
To build your Analyzer use the class CustomAnalyzer and its builder API to construct your own analysis chain. User PatternTokenizerFactory as tokenizer and add stuff like LowercaseFilterFactory and you are done. No need for any new components in Lucene. It's all there, RTFM 😊 https://lucene.apache.org/core/8_2_0/analyzers-common/org/apache/lucene/analysis/custom/CustomAnalyzer.html https://lucene.apache.org/core/8_2_0/analyzers-common/org/apache/lucene/analysis/pattern/PatternTokenizerFactory.html (the example there is for Apache Solr, but you can use the same parameter names in CustomAnalyzer) Uwe ----- Uwe Schindler Achterdiek 19, D-28357 Bremen https://www.thetaphi.de eMail: u...@thetaphi.de > -----Original Message----- > From: Abhishek Chauhan <abhishek.chauhan...@gmail.com> > Sent: Friday, August 16, 2019 11:23 AM > To: java-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: AlphaNumeric analyzer/tokenizer > > Hi, > > We have been using SimpleAnalyzer which keeps only letters in its tokens. > This limits us to search in strings that contains both letters and numbers. > For e.g. "axt1234".
