i am using lucene to index simple metadata records, that consist of fields such as creator, description, identifier etc.
with the apache commons digester i can read each record into a lucene document and push each tag as key-value pair, where the tag name (eg. creator) is the lucene field name and the text enclosed by it the corresponding string value.
for a lot of purposes it is much more comfortable to have the possibility to search over all fields.
does an alternative exist to performing as many queries as there are fields in the index (all the same term but different fields)?
Regards
Thomas
