Thanks, I'll try that first and then Ype's suggestion if necessary. I
have been shying away from filters so now I have no excuse ;-)

In our application we had a similar problem with non-date ranges until
we realized that it wasnt so much that we were searching for the
values in the range as restricting the search to that range, and then
we used an extension to the org.apache.lucene.search.Filter class, and
our implementation got much simpler and faster.

Hi,
I have over 60,000 documents in my index which is slightly over a 1 GB
in size. The documents range from the late seventies up to now. I
have indexed dates as a keyword field using a string because the dates
are in YYYYMMDD format. When I do range queries things are OK as long
as I don't exceed the built-in number of boolean clauses, so that's a
range of 3 years, e.g. 1979 to 1981. The users are not only doing
complex queries but also want to query over long ranges, e.g.
[19790101
TO 19991231].
Given these requirements, I am thinking of doing a query without the
date range, bring the unique ids back from the hits and then do a date
query in the SQL database I have that contains the same data. Another
alternative is to do the query without the date range in Lucene and
then sort the results within the range. I still have to learn how to
use the new sorting code and confessed I did not have time to look at
it yet.
Is there a simpler, easier way to do this?
