Steven Rowe commented on LUCENE-4369:
-------------------------------------
bq. I never understood the difference and why this was renamed in 2.4. For me
the issue explains nothing and the mailing list thread referenced from there is
in my opinion unrelated.
Yeah, no. Totally related, see e.g.
<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-java-user/200808.mbox/%3c184419b1-6589-41cb-b5d4-3ea9c4215...@mikemccandless.com%3E>
> 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.
