Hi I'm probably going to get shot down for asking this simple question. Although I think I understand the basic concept of Field I feel there is something that I am missing and I was wondering if someone might help to clarify.
You can store a field value in an index using Field.Store.YES or if the content is too large then you can exclude it be stored in the index using Field.Store.NO. How does Lucene know how to search for a term in an index if the value hasn't been stored in the index? I guess I can understand that if you don't store the field then you can't get the field and it's value using the document api. Is there a seperate part in the lucene document that the tokenised strings are stored and therefore Lucene knows where to look? Again I do apologise for asking this question...I just feel like I'm missing something (knew I shouldn't have had those tequilla shots!). Thanks Amin
