I don't see what you're getting at. There are only two forms of a query term,,,, field:value value
And the second is really the first with the default field you specified in the parser implied. So just think of all terms you specify in a query as field:term. Having some "special character" in the index doesn't help you because you still have to specify the field. And your two choices are still either a BooleanQuery that mentions all fields or indexing the data into a single field. Best Erick On 2/21/07, Kainth, Sachin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Well, here's my current thoughts on acheiveing this. Instead of putting a 1000 space gap between elements of the 1ll field could I not use a character that isn't used in the data such as ~ and then somehow (don't know how) use that to search all fields? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Hostetter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 February 2007 18:30 To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Search for a term in all fields The information Erick gave you when you asked this question yesterday is all very accurate -- the one addition i would make is that you don't need SpanNear queries to take advantage of positionINcrimentGap -- PhraseQueries do that to. Consolidating your fields into a single "all" field, or constructing a BoolenQuery across all of your existing fields are really the two main options -- each with their tradeoffs. http://www.nabble.com/Search-in-all-fields-tf3254569.html : Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 12:29:25 -0000 : From: "Kainth, Sachin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Reply-To: java-user@lucene.apache.org : To: java-user@lucene.apache.org : Subject: Search for a term in all fields : : Hi all, : : How do I search for a term in all fields of a document? : : Cheers : : Sachin : : : This email and any attached files are confidential and copyright protected.
