What is the structure of your index? If you havnt already, then add a new field to your index that stores the contractId. For all other fields, set the "store" flag to false while indexing.
You can now safely retrieve the value of this contractId field based on your search results.

Hi all, Can I get just a list of document Ids given a search criteria ? To elaborate here is my situation: I store 20000 contracts in the file system index each with some parameterName and Value. Given a search criterion - (paramValue='draft'). I need to get just an ArrayList of Strings containing contract Ids. I dont need the lucene documents, just the Ids. Can this be done ? -thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Getting-only-the-Ids%2C-not-the-whole-documents.-t f4204907.html#a11960750 Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
