Hard to tell without seeing any code.  Perhaps numbers are being removed from 
the query string during search.
Make sure the same or at least "compatible" Analyzer is used during both 
indexing and querying.
Grab the code from Lucene in Action .... hm, lucenebook.com may be down at the 
moment, but that's where you can get the code normally.  The code includes some 
classes that let you run a query string through a set of Analyzers and see how 
each of them behaves and what it does to a query.

Subject: Problem with a search engine


Hi, I recently started an internship and I've been asked to fix their
search engine so numbers are searched. At first, I thought it was the
Analyzer that wasn't working right, but we're using StandardAnalyzer and
the numbers are indexed (I checked with Lukeall). Then I thought they
are not tokenized during the search, but they are. They just seem to be
ignored for some reason. Did anyone experienced something similar ? If
so, how can I fix this ? It's probably something that would jump in my
face if it was alive, but I just can't see it. Can anyone help me ? It
would be very much appreciated.
