Hi, I am doing "field:text" kind of search using my own analyzer which behaves like whitespaceanalyzer. Following are the code snippets for my own whitespaceanalyzer and whitespacetokenizer.
// WhiteSpaceAnalyzerMaestro.java package com.hewitt.itk.maestro.support.service.simplesearch; import java.io.Reader; import org.apache.lucene.analysis.Analyzer; import org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream; /** An Analyzer that uses WhitespaceTokenizer. */ public final class WhitespaceAnalyzerMaestro extends Analyzer { public TokenStream tokenStream(String fieldName, Reader reader) { return new WhitespaceTokenizerMaestro(reader); } } // WhitespaceTokenizerMaestro.java package com.hewitt.itk.maestro.support.service.simplesearch; import java.io.Reader; import org.apache.lucene.analysis.WhitespaceTokenizer; /** A WhitespaceTokenizerMaestro is a tokenizer that divides text at whitespace. * Adjacent sequences of non-Whitespace characters form tokens. */ public class WhitespaceTokenizerMaestro extends WhitespaceTokenizer { /** Construct a new WhitespaceTokenizerMaestro. */ public WhitespaceTokenizerMaestro(Reader in) { super(in); } /** Collects only characters which do not satisfy * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Character#isWhitespace(char)} * and lowercases that character before returning.*/ protected boolean isTokenChar(char c) { c = Character.toLowerCase(c); return !Character.isWhitespace(c); } } I have modified the tokenizer class by making it return characters in lower case. Now my search criteria is ISSUE_TITLE:test in which ISSUE_TITLE is the field in which test is to be searched. Following is my code snippet which is doing the search: BooleanQuery masterQuery = new BooleanQuery(); masterQuery.add(MultiFieldQueryParser.parse( searchQuery, fields, analyzer), REQUIRED, PROHIBITED); Here the searchquery is ISSUE_TITLE:test , fields is the array of fields in which ISSUE_TITLE is one of the fields and analyzer is WhitespaceAnalyzerMaestro() (already mentioned above). When I run the search, the masterQuery I get after running the above code snippet has the following value: +(ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test* ISSUE_TITLE:test*) which I think is not correct. Is the MultiFieldQueryParser not supporting WhiteSpaceAnalyzer? Please help.
