I am indexing some text in a java object that is "%772B" with the standard analyser and Lucene 2. Should I be able to search for this with the same text as the query, or do I need to do any escaping of characters?
probably not because I doubt that you'll have the '%' in the index (but I admit I don't know for sure). Get Luke and check to be sure ( http://www.getopt.org/luke/). That will tell you exactly what is in the index. I suspect you'll find "772B" but the '%' will simply be absent. Also, watch capitalization. The StandardAnalyzer lowercases your stream as I remember.... You probably want a different analyzer fot *both* indexing and searching if you really need to search such strings, try WhitespaceAnalyzer and perhaps store your values UN_TOKENIZED (but watch that latter, this assumes you're controlling your tokens yourself and not relying on the analyzer to break up your input stream). And if you want to look treat different fields differently, think about PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper. Best Erick Thanks
