Interesting wiki link, I hadn't seen that table before.
And to answer your specific question about indexed=true, stored=false, this is most often done when you are using analyzers/tokenizers on your field. This field is for search only, you would never retrieve it's contents for display. It may in fact be an amalgam of several fields into one 'content' field. You have your display copy stored in another field marked indexed=false, stored=true and optionally compressed. I also have simple string fields set to lowercase so searching is case-insensitive, and have a duplicate field where the string is normal case. the first one is indexed/not stored, the second is stored/not indexed. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Stored-or-indexed-tp1782805p1784315.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
