Lucene only uses strings to store and search, you should convert any objects to string. For dates you have a special Date field that you should use which converts dated to a searchable strings

When I search document, how could I process the searching result for that field? For example: index date with Field field = Field.Keyword("created", new Date); ..... ...... When I search that, I get that field back Field f = doc.getField("created"). but value of that field is just like 0edtel52h How could I process that to get Date object back? Thanks a lot. -- Haipeng Du Software Engineer Comphealth, Salt Lake City --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
