Hey, Just a quick addendum to this original issue.
My first need was to ensure that stop words were not stored in the index (which your helpful suggestion led me to confim); however this has raised a second more scary issue. It seems that because stop words are excluded from the index, quoted sequences of tokens which include stop words will yield no results. That is, In the default StandardAnalyzer, the stop word list contains the word "on". If I have a document which contains the phrase "Disney on Ice", the index will show only "Disney" and "Ice", but not "on". This is fine, and if the user searches for: Disney on Ice They will get a match. But, it seems that a search for: "Disney on Ice" With the quotations indicating the desire for an "exact match", the absence of stop words in the index means this yields zero results.
