If you're indexing a field like this in order to be able to use it as a reference later, you should normally index it using Field.Keyword instead of Field.Text - if you use Text, it will go through your Analyzer, which is probably what's changing the case. (I think this is right - I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!)
Cheers, Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Bogdan Munteanu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 September 2005 15:40 To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Deleting documents I have a problem when deleting documents. Lets say I have a Document object doc. doc.add(Field.Text("id","index1,DML")); doc.add(Field.Text("contents","some records")); IndexWriter.addDocument(doc); Now if I want to delete the document with id:index1,DML I do something like this: IndexReader.delete(new Term("id", "index1,DML")); And it is not deleted. I have debuged it and noticed that lucene compares my "index1,DML" parameter with it's internal value "index1,dml". So when I do: IndexReader.delete(new Term("id", "index1,dml")); the document is deleted. Now please explain me why is there a lower case value for my "id"? And excuse my poor english! ******************************************************************************** The information contained in this email message may be confidential.
