Hello: usually you would not process such a binary file with an analyzer, you would parse the binary file into the Fields you care about and then add them to your Document. The analyzer is separate from that "parsing", its the way you specify text preprocessing at both index and query time like lowercasing, stemming, etc. > > * Are there tutorials on analyzer development, or (ideally) an example > custom simple analyzer?
