Catchall field has its own disadvantages of increasing index size. MultiFieldQueryParser has to know the field names before hand.
How do I do a multi field search - without knowing fields in the index - without having a CatchAll field PS : I went through the Lucene in Action book, and in chapter 13 ( SIREn case study ), he says SIREn does it. I also wanted to know how can I do the same with similar efficiency ? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/How-to-do-an-all-field-search-without-using-a-catchall-field-or-MultiFieldQueryParser-tp2681163p2681163.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
