Chris Male commented on LUCENE-4369:
------------------------------------
As I say, I totally support renaming this field to something. I think calling
it anything else will help with distinguishing it from TextField so I'm +1 for
MatchOnly. Perhaps that'll encourage people to read the docs about it not
being analyzed.
> StringFields name is unintuitive and not helpful

> 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.
