I am indexing documents which are filled with government jargon. As one would expect, the standard tokenizer has problems with governmenteese.

In particular, the documents use words such as 310N-P-Q as references to other documents. The standard tokenizer breaks this "word" at the dashes so that I can find P or Q but not the entire token.

I know how to write a new tokenizer. I would like hints on how to install it and get my indexing system to use it. I don't want to modify the standard .jar file. What I think I want to do is set up my indexing operation to use the WhitespaceTokenizer instead of the normal one, but I am unsure how to do this.

I know that the IndexTask has a setAnalyzer method. The document formats are rather complicated and I need special code to isolate the text strings which should be indexed. My file analyzer isolates the string I want to index, then does

doc.add(new Field(DocFormatters.CONTENT_FIELD, <string from the file>, Field.Store.YES, Field.index.TOKENIZED));

I suspect that my issue is getting the Field constructor to use a different tokenizer. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Bill Taylor
