Hello i have a field that stores names of people. i have used the NOT_ANALYZED parameter to index the names.
this is what happens during indexing doc.add(new Field("name", "\"" + name + "\"", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.NOT_ANALYZED)); when i search it, i create a query parser using standardanalyzer and append ~0.5 to the search query. the problem is that if the indexed name is "Mr. Kumar", my search does not work for "Mr. Kumar" while it does work for "Mr.Kumar" (without the space). // searching code File index_directory = new File(INDEX_DIR_PATH); IndexReader reader = IndexReader.open(FSDirectory.open(index_directory), true); Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(reader); Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(Version.LUCENE_CURRENT); QueryParser parser = new QueryParser(Version.LUCENE_CURRENT, "name", analyzer); Query query; query = parser.parse(text + "~0.5"); how to make it work?
