It is not currently possible to create an index without term position information.
Support for such a feature was mentioned as part of some long term objectives for more flexible indexing - http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/FlexibleIndexing Some debate here: http://www.archivum.info/java-dev@lucene.apache.org/2006-06/msg00024.html This is not a trivial change so I wouldn't make any plans on it arriving soon. As storage gets cheaper and cheaper I suspect the cost/benefit ratios of having the position info vs removing support get more strongly stacked in favour of keeping the position info. ----- Original Message ---- From: "Nentwig, Timo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Monday, 18 September, 2006 8:44:49 AM Subject: RE: Storing fields without term positions > Hi everybody, > > is it possible to store fields without term position (the > .prx file) data?
