Another thing you could consider is that rather than meshing all this data into a single index, logically break out the data you need for searching into one index, and the data you need for display into another index. This is the technique we use here and its been wildly successful for us, as

Agree with Nick that Jing's task doesn't really need Lucene if mostly range search is needed. Database is good for range search. But for his search on 'Select * from table where Name like "%mymymy%"'. It's not a scalable solution for database. And using Lucene makes a lot of sense. The easiest wa

I think this should be a new thread since it's a different problem. Based on your description, I don't see any compelling reasons for you to use Lucene just for indexing purposes, since you are not indexing text docs as you indicated. Claiming database of lacking performance is not accurate and o
