I had the same issue with trying to delete by GUID. Lowercase worked just fine :)

See the code below. //INDEX IndexWriter wr = new IndexWriter("TempIndex", new Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer(), true); Document doc = new Document(); doc.Add(new Field("field1", "12345678X", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.TOKENIZED)); wr.AddDocument(doc); wr.Close(); //DELETE (UPPERCASE) IndexSearcher src = new IndexSearcher("TempIndex"); src.Reader.DeleteDocuments( new Term("field1","12345678X") ); src.Close(); //NUM DOCS src = new IndexSearcher("TempIndex"); Console.WriteLine(src.Reader.NumDocs().ToString() + "\n"); // <-- 1 src.Close(); //DELETE (LOWERCASE) src = new IndexSearcher("TempIndex"); src.Reader.DeleteDocuments( new Term("field1","12345678x") ); src.Close(); //NUM DOCS src = new IndexSearcher("TempIndex"); Console.WriteLine(src.Reader.NumDocs().ToString() + "\n"); // <-- 0 src.Close(); OUTPUT: 1 0 DIGY -----Original Message----- From: Gautam Lad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 5:32 AM To: lucene-net-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: RE: Can't delete documents Sorry I sent an email earlier about the casing which should have been in response to this message. Anywho, as I've said I didn't realize casing had an issue. Any other suggestions? -----Original Message----- From: zoolette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 5:32 PM To: lucene-net-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Can't delete documents I think, because I had the same issue, that the isbn, considering the analyzer you used, is indexed in lower case while you try to delete a value by specifying it in upper case.
