Well, as always, it depends <G>... My first thought is that I'd index things in separate fields as it gives you more options. For instance, let's say that you have name and phone fields and decide that the name field is more important than the phone number. Your options for boosting "anything in the name field" are better if it's indexed separately.
I've actually never seen this question discussed on this thread, so in terms of real knowledge, I'm clueless <G>... Erick On 10/3/06, Volodymyr Bychkoviak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
In my application I need to implement search across several fields. What is better approach in term of relevance scoring: Index in separate fields and search using MultiFieldQueryParser or index everything as concatenated field an search using this field? Thanks in advance. -- regards, Volodymyr Bychkoviak
