Hello, I'm new to Lucene and am looking for advice. I'm wanting to search the entire DB (or almost the entire DB) for a keyword. The users also want to know which field the string occurred in.
I can think of two ways to do this, but neither are ideal and I'm looking for suggestions: 1) Search the entire DB and add all the text I want to search to a single string and store that string. Then create a query against that string...Using this approach, is there any way to know which field the match it is in? Context highlighting is not sufficient, they want the DB column of the match...we are using EclipseLink/JPA (but are considering switching to Hibernate) 2) Query every single field checking for results with each query (this seems slow (and tedious!)) Any help is greatly appreciated -Todd
