I think I may be confused on the terminology. What is meant by 'not stored'? The comments on the method that takes a Reader as an argument states that it 'is tokenized and indexed, but not stored in the index verbatim'.
I took this to mean that it stores the version of the text after it is run through the analyzer, which is exactly what I want. Now that I've looked at the index files closer, I'm starting to think that perhaps the text may be being stored. It's hard to tell though. I want to be able go get at the contents of the stored field, and can do so easily when I use the method that takes a String as an argument. Here's how I'm trying to get the field back: Field contentsField = doc.getField("contents"); I get null back when I used the Reader-as-argument Field method, but get the correct, but unanalyzed, text back when I use the String-as-argument Field method. thanks, rob On Thu, 28 Mar 2002, Joe Hajek wrote: > Hi, > > thats interesting. if you do a Field.Text(String name, Reader value) it > should be indexed but not stored. strange i had no problems, but i didnt > use a stringreader, just file readers. > > try to do create your customized field, passing a string that is not > stored. i dont remember the documentation exactly, but this should be > possible passing the right parameters to the field constructor. > > regards joe > > > "Robert A.
