Robert Muir created LUCENE-4369:
-----------------------------------
Summary: StringFields name is unintuitive and not helpful
Key: LUCENE-4369
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4369
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Robert Muir
There's a huge difference between TextField and StringField, StringField screws
up scoring and bypasses your Analyzer.
(see java-user thread "Custom Analyzer Not Called When Indexing" as an example.)
The name we use here is vital, otherwise people will get bad results.
I think we should rename StringField to MatchOnlyField.
