At times these seem out of date. The most recent one on the dev list seems to be Nov 4. Time warp?

Ok... here we go: This is indeed a FAQ, and it also comes up often on the list, if you check the archives. Come to think of it, where *are* the archives now? I'm looking at http://www.mail-archive.com/ and I don't see the more recent (post-move-to-jakarta) postings there. The archive seems to end on October 5th. Are we using a new archive now? Are the messages from the old archive there? > The problem is...

If I have for example a document with > a field named "name". How can I search for example a name like '456'? If you look into... hm, well, I was going to say if you look into the API docs, but it's not that simple. I remember somebody in the past saying (on this list) to simply use StandardAnalyzer instead of StopAnalyzer. I don't know if this works (I'll have to take time later this afternoon and check the source code - this is one of the things that's been on my to-do list for a month or so, but I've been preoccupied with other areas of my project). I guess I should note the following details: StandardAnalyzer is not listed in the "Package org.apache.lucene.analysis" page of the API docs (from the lucene-1.2-rc2 checkout), just SimpleAnalyzer and StopAnalyzer. When I track down the API docs for StandardAnalyzer and compare them, neither StandardAnalyzer or StopAnalyzer says anything about numbers. Nor do StandardFilter or StopFilter mention numbers. Searching for "numeric" turns up nothing, searching for "number" turns up: "27. How does Lucene handle numbers and special characters ? This depends of the analyzer you are using for indexing an searching." I checked out the Lucene FAQ source in the past,with the intent of going through it and checking for typos, etc, as a good way to force myself to read it all as well as contributing something back to Lucene. I think that was from the pre-jakarta days, I should probably get a fresh, jakarta-based checkout. Is all of that stuff still in the "website" checkout? Steven J.
