Hi, I am putting some text into a field which we set to Field.Store.NO & Field.Index.NOT_ANALYZED. We are then doing exact & fuzzy matches against that text (about the length of an average sentence). Currently, we have a single field that is being used for both exact and fuzzy matches while we have another field with the same text in it for phrase matches.
As for the exact matching, I am wondering if I should store the hashcode of the text in a separate field and convert the text in the query to a hashcode before passing it on or if Lucene already does something like that under the covers when it sees Field.Store.NO & Field.Index.NOT_ANALYZED. We will have millions of entries. Thanks, Christian
