Excellent, that's exactly what I needed. Many thanks! Cheers,

KeywordAnalyzer is in the trunk of Subversion right now, not in a released version. <http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/src/java/org/ apache/lucene/analysis/KeywordAnalyzer.java> It was developed for Lucene in Action also, so it is in that codebase which you can download from http://www.lucenebook.com Keep in mind that QueryParser may still interfere with keyword fields if there are characters in them that are special to the parser, such as parenthesis.
