I'm using Lucene 2.9. How do I make a comma behave like a regular character using the StandardAnalyzer? Example:
I have a field called "choice" and some field values: groupA, morning groupB, noon groupC, night morning noon night So a query choice:night returns "groupC, night" and "night". Well, I only wanted "night". The StandardAnalyzer strips the commas from phrases and splits on whitespace. A phrase query choice:"night" produces the same results. I think indexing the field values as NOT_ANALYZED and making the comma behave as a regular character will solve this. Of course I have thought about choice:(night -groupC). That is not an option because the contents of the index are hidden from the front end where queries are made by users. I looked into changing StandardTokenizerImpl punctuation, but I'm hoping for a more simple solution. Also, changing analyzers is not an option. I could possibly extend the StandardAnalyzer, but how do I set the punctuation settings? Any help here would be great. This seems like it should be an easy fix so I hope I've missed something simple. Thanks, Paul
