I considered that, but the documentation for Document.Add(...) scared me off:
" Adds a field to a document. Several fields may be added with the same name. In this case, if the fields are indexed, their text is treated as though appended for the purposes of search." Would that mean that the FileNumber field of my document would become "ABC-1234512345"? Regards, Brian.

Importance: Low Hi, You could accomplish this by adding several FileNumber fields. I'm guessing that a regexp would suffice to extract the number from the complete value. var document = new Document(); document.Add(new Field("FileNumber", "ABC-12345", Field.Store.NO, Field.Index.NOT_ANALYZED)); document.Add(new Field("FileNumber", "12345", Field.Store.NO, Field.Index.NOT_ANALYZED)); // Simon On 2012-01-18 17:36, Brian Sayatovic wrote: > > I have some data (files) that have prominent identifiers (file > numbers) that users often know the files by.
