Thanks Eric, I have looked at the way the documents were indexed and they are 
using 90% of the code using in chapter 2 and 4 of your book LIA. except for the 
stop words. 
I will try to use Luke to see if there are any numbers indexed first.

Try the tips here:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/AnalysisParalysis - you need to
analyze your analyzer and ensure what you think was indexed actually
was.  Also, look into using Luke - http://www.getopt.org/luke/ - to see
what makes your index tick.

Yes.  That's just the nature of how it works.  Getting the analysis
right is important stuff, and if you didn't index it, you can't search
for it!

Feel free to share more details of your analyzer, and we'd be happy to
"analyze" it.
