> Can anyone tell me how I can search my index for $ or £.
$ or £ or euro character are not reserved characters that are specified in
QueryParser. I just verified it using the code below: (in Lucene 2.4.1)
org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser qp = new
org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser("title", new WhitespaceAnalyzer());
Query q = qp.parse("$ahmet$ AND £arslan£ te$s£t");
System.out.println(q.toString());
Where the output is : +title:$ahmet$ +title:£arslan£ title:te$s£t
Probably your analyzer is eating up those characters. Are you using
StandardAnalyzer or SimpleAnalyzer? LetterTokenizer and StandardTokenizer
breaks/splits words at those characters. If thats the cause of the problem, use
something like WhitespaceAnalyzer or construct your queries programmatically
using Lucene Query API. e.g. TermQuery etc.
And why not to switch latest version. To improve searching and indexing speed
Lucene [1][2] advises to use the latest version.
