underscore a word separator in StandardAnalyzer?

[Paul Libbrecht]

Hello fellows of Lucene,


Can it be?


Is there any rationale? A past debate about that?

I just discovered that the _ character is a word separator in the StandardAnalyzer. It broke our usage of a field that stores a comma-separated list of "uri-fragments" which, of course, contain _: the standard-analyzer splits these as separate term which fully-fuzzifies the search. I would feel my candid approach to be rather common: underscore makes new words out of existing words, dash makes composed words. I sure know I can try to adapt standard-analyzer! I wanted to know the reasons.
