Javadocs for Field.Keyword says:

Constructs a Date-valued Field that is not tokenized and is indexed, and stored 
in the index, for return with hits.

For most purposes dealing with Strings, use Field.Text, unless you have a date, 
a GUID or some other string you don't want tokenized or processed in any way. 
This basically means that Field.Keyword indexes the field as-is.
