Ah, didn't know that class exists. Thanks very much. Now on to another
problem, how about handling decimal types? I see a Util.SmallFloat class that
may help but it obviously has small precision. I would like to index
geographic coordinates, which the database stores as decimal(18,10) and of
course it's possible to have negative values.
Any recommendations?

Have you looked at the DateTools class?
document.Add(new Field("createddate", DateTools.TimeToString(createdTicks,
DateTools.Resolution.DAY), Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED));

Subject: Basic Dates Question
I've been searching on the net for how to handle dates, but none seem to be
working. Here's what I'm doing. Suppose I have a field "StartDate". When I
create the index, I'm populating it with something like this:
DateTime dtStartDate;
doc.Add(new Field("StartDate", dtStartDate.ToString(), Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED);
...
Now, I'm using the Luke tool to view the index. The date appears in the doc as
a full string, for example, "2/21/2009 12:00:00AM". This is to be expected
since I used UN_TOKENIZED, correct?
How do I go about searching for 1) StartDate with the exact starting date 2) A
range?
1) StartDate:"2/21/2009 12:00:00AM"
This doesn't even find the exact entry. Not sure what's going on here.
2) StartDate:[2/21/2009 TO 2/24/2009]
StartDate:[2009/2/21 TO 2009/2/24]
None of the above works...can someone point out how I should be handling this?
From indexing to the search query...
Thanks.
