The problem with ExactMatch field is: If it is also stored, the name is
misleasing again, so KeywordField is better.

I dont understand how storing is related. storing is the same always.
{quote}
If we would 100% differentiate between stored and indexed fields while indexing
(requiring that the field is also added 2 times, one time as indexed and one
time as indexed), I would be fine with "MatchOnlyField" and "StoredStringField".
{quote}
In my opinion the only thing worse we could do to our .document API than
StringField would be to require the user to add the field twice.

> 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.
