[Lucene-dev] indexing words with dashes

[Scott Hasse]

Howdy all.  I have used lucene on a couple of projects, and find it to be excellent.  One small problem I have is when trying to run a query with the form of "title:war and peace" when using an analyzer that stems words.  The problem seems to be that the analyzer is also stemming "title" in the example above, and thus when it tries to find the field, there is no "titl" field.  I have implemented a workaround for this that involves storing the original representation of each token in the token itself, and then when using a token to represent a field, the original, rather than analyzed verison is used.  I am wondering if there is a different solution, or if I should submit what I have done.  Thanks!   Scott
