Erik: doc.add(Field.Keyword("rank_field", rank_value));
is what I use to build my customized rank field. Considering the rank_value is an integer, should it be zero padded? Currently I have it padded because the rest of lucene needs it that way, should it be the same here? If I specify INT or STRING, the sort of rank works just fine... but its when I combine the two that I have issues. I'm using 1.4.2... but I'll see how my code differs from yours and give it a try.. can you tell me how you indexed your secondary rank field? as a keyword or what have you?
