[I'm resending this from a different account, since my first attempt is bogged down somewhere. A second copy will probably show up tomorrow, but in the interests of solving this problem sooner, I'm resending it. Sorry for the duplicaton.]
Define an Analyzer that does not lowercase the id field, e.g., something like: public class MyAnalyzer extends Analyzer { private Analyzer standard = new StandardAnalyzer(); public TokenStream tokenStream(String field, final Reader reader) { if ("id".equals(field)) { return new WhitespaceTokenizer(reader); } else { return standard.tokenStream(field, reader); } } } Then pass this into QueryParser.
