No, no, no...
Say you have the following
Document doc = new Document()
doc.add("field1", "stuff", blah, blah)
doc.add("field1", "more stuff", blah, blah)
doc.add("field1", "stuff and nonsense", blah, blah)
IndexWriter.addDocument(doc)
Now, in your search code that document comes up as a hit and you have
Field[] adds = doc.getFields("field1");
adds.size() should == 3
whenever adds.size() > 1, you can know it has multiple entries....
I wasn't suggesting that you ever add empty fields, and I don't think an
empty
add would even compile.
