Thanks Joe I'm using this function as my analyzer
public static Analyzer getDefaultAnalyzer() { PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper perFieldAnalyzer = new PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper(new StopAnalyzer()); perFieldAnalyzer.addAnalyzer("contents", new StopAnalyzer()); perFieldAnalyzer.addAnalyzer("fileID", new WhitespaceAnalyzer()); perFieldAnalyzer.addAnalyzer("path", new KeywordAnalyzer()); return perFieldAnalyzer; } StopAnalyzer builds an analyzer which removes words in ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS.That might be the cause why I cannot search words such as 'and' 'to' BUT I'm still having problem when I search a few words other than english words such as name (eg: Ghazat) or string of numbers (eg:45600). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-Search-using-lucene-tf4197963.html#a11940536 Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
