Thanks Dima the first link is very nice and I put some comment on that if you take a look again but it has no decode method. anyway, I decided to use solr solution

I think it should > be extends to support more data types Check out these resources: 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-530 2. Solr has a class that will help you encode/decode floats for lucene range queries and sorting: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/util/NumberUtils.html 3. Alternatively you can pad the floats with zeros like this: 000001.3000. As long as the padding is consistent between indexing and querying your range queries and sorting should work fine as appending zeros enforces lexicographical order. 2 - suppose we are indexing a bunch of information and a field is in long > that we need to apply range queries on that later. > now I have a query like "fieldone:(just for test) AND field_long:[1 TO > 25]", > the question is whether this query returns correct result? because > field_long already encoded with longToString() method and in the index > files > you can't find any real value say, 1 or 25 or 10 ... > do I need to use stringToLong() method while I am building query? Yes the search query must "match" whats in the index so you would have to encode the value before performing the search. The good news are that you can encapsulate that logic into the custom analyzer and custom query parser. In query parser you should implement getRangeQuery. any comment would be of great help > > -- > Regards, > Mohammad > -------------------------- > see my blog: http://brainable.blogspot.com/ > another in Persian: http://fekre-motefavet.blogspot.com/ >
