Hi Lucene users, I am in the beginning of implementing a Lucene application which would supposedly search through some log files.
One of the requirements is to return results between a time range. Let's say these are two lines in a series of log files: 2015-02-08 00:02:06.852Z INFO... ... 2015-02-08 18:02:04.012Z INFO... Now I need to search for these lines and return all the text in-between. I was using this demo application to build an index: http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_10_3/demo/src-html/org/apache/lucene/demo/IndexFiles.html After that my first thought was using a term range query like this: TermRangeQuery query = TermRangeQuery.newStringRange("contents", "2015-02-08 00:02:06.852Z", "2015-02-08 18:02:04.012Z", true, true); But for some reason this didn't return any results. Then I was Googling for a while how to solve this problem, but all the datetime examples I found are searching based on a much simpler field. Those examples usually use a field like this: doc.add(new LongField("modified", file.lastModified(), Field.Store.NO)); So I was wondering, how can I index these log files to make a range query work on them? Any ideas? Maybe my approach is completely wrong. I am still new to Lucene so any help is appreciated. Thank you. Gergely Nagy
