Hello, If I have a user search for "b-trunk" I would like them to be able to find "b-trunk" (with hypen). I would also like someone searching for "b trunk" to also find "b-trunk".
On the other side, if someone searches for 12412 I would like them to be able to find 12412-235, 12412-121, 12412-etc... as well as letting someone type in 12412-235 directly and get a good result list: the one item would be best, but a larger list with that one on top is good too. So for now I am using the standardanalyzer. I do a search for what they give me in quotes on all fields as well as the same thing w/o quotes. When I print out the final query the half of the overall query in quotes seems to have the hypens stripped out, but the w/o quotes version doesn't...so this lets me find what I want. But I have each search phrase in the final query twice now. it seems to work fine, but it seems pretty inelegant--unelegant even. It seems like I can't just strip out the hypens, nor keep them. I am storing the name as keyword, but everything else as Text. I thought that would matter but a description or keyword or other field may have something like "this also relates to 23523-235" so if someone was searching for 23523 I would also want this in the list... and if they searched for the 23523-235 then I would also want this still. So I don't know if its solvable by the type of field I use to index it. Or do I have to store each field twice with different analyzer? That seems just as clumsy as my double-search solution.
