I've got to ask why you'd want to search on colons. Why not just index the words without colons and search without them too? Let's say you index the word "work:" Do you really want to have a search on "work" fail?
By and large, you're better off indexing and searching without punctuation.... Best Erick On 1/28/07, Felix Litman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Is there a simple way to turn off field-search syntax in the Lucene parser, and have Lucene recognize words ending in a colon ":" as search terms instead? Such words are very common occurrences for our documents (or any plain text), but Lucene does not seem to find them. :-( Thank you, Felix
