Hi you know, actually we dont indexed this field as Date. we always use string instead of Date type because we use both Hijri date and Gregorian date so if we put a Hijri date the DateField not work properly. that is why we index such this field as String.
as I read the javadoc for QueryParser, it is said to inherits a class from QueryParser and override its setQueryRange() method. I think in my case I should do it. what do you think? On 3/5/07, Chris Hostetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
