Hi Erick, I take a look at your source codes and I saw in the getRangeQuery() method you put a DateFormat as this: DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, locale); ... Date d1 = df.parse(part1);
the last line of code doesnt work with our localed format. for example I put the '1328/01/01' and the df.parse(part1) will returns a wrong value that is in Gregorian format and not Hijri. I override that method and just remove the try/catch block in which you put codes with Date stuffs and now it works fine my overridden method only return new RangeQuery(...); now Did I make mistake by that?

I think you should search the archive for DateTools. There have been very extensive discussions of this topic that will give you answers far more quickly. Dates are strings in Lucene. There's no magic here. You don't need to override anything to get them to work, all you need to do is make sure that you index and query for them as searchable strings. For example, 20070122. If you have different formats for dates, decide on an underlying format that allows them to be sorted lexically (that is, by String comparison). Inspect your index with Luke to see if they're being stored as you expect. Use QueryParser.toString to see how the query string is broken up. Don't override anything until you do this or you'll waste much effort <G>.
