Well, there are lots of techniques for all sorts of tricks with Lucene. What you're basically asking for is an untokenized, indexed field and a TermQuery to find a document with an exact match for a field. Will that work for your situation? If not, give us some more details of why that doesn't work and we'll work from there.

Can I not check the content length somehow? As in, mention that the length of the value (to be matched) must match the length of the field value...

One (ugly) way might be to insert artificial begin/end markers at both index
and search time.

Hi,

I have a small query here.



How do I do an exact match on the value of a field and also assert that the
value must match the entire content of that field?

For E.g., I want that only the documents with 'Product Lifecycle' as the value of a given field must be selected and even documents with 'Product
Lifecycle Management' as the field value must not be selected.



Thanks in Advance.



Shivani
