I don't know if this helps but I had exact same problem, I then stored the URI instead of the path, I was then able to search on the URI.
Thanks, Rob -----Original Message----- From: Terry Steichen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 11:53 AM To: Lucene Users Group Subject: Slash Problem I've got a Text field (tokenized, indexed, stored) called 'path' which contains a string in the form of '1102\A3345-12RT.XML'. When I submit a query like "path:1102*" it works fine. But, when I try to be more specific (such as "path:1102\a*" or "path:1102*a*") it fails. I've tried escaping the slash ("path:1102\\a*") but that also fails. I'm using the StandardAnalyzer and the default QueryParser. Could anyone suggest what's going wrong here?
