Using Lucene 3. I know Lucene supports multiple occurrences of a field, and if one searches on that field, all fields are checked for hits. One question I have is if there is a performance difference between if all the data I want to index is represented by a single field vs multiple fields of the same name?
The other question is if scoring of results differ between the use of a single field vs multiple fields of the same name? For results ranking, I am guessing there is an effect based on <https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ#How_can_I_search_over_multiple_fields.3F> and <https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ#Does_the_position_of_the_matches_in_the_text_affect_the_scoring.3F> But I am not sure if this only applicable for cases of different fields names vs fields of the same name. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
