Thanks for your input.
I am using the standard analyzer for everything. I haven't created my
own analyzer yet.
The documents I am using:
Plain text
PDF Documents
(I have two indexes)
When I create my index:
IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(index_name, new
StandardAnalyzer(),true);
When I search:
Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer();
query = MultiFieldQueryParser.parse(queryString, fields, analyzer);
(where query String is the term to search and fields is the array of
fields)
When searching it does the one index then it does the other.
When you say you use different analyzers for different fields in your
index, how would you accomplish that? When I create the index it has a
parameter for analyzer.. unless you create different indexes , how do
you use two different ones?

Tracey --
it would help if you could give more detail on the types of documents,
fields and analyzers you're using. Also what do you mean by "Multi Field
Search"? I presume you're using the MultiFieldQueryParser to have query
terms in a user-submitted query be searched for in each field in your
index.
If I am understanding your problem, then it might be the same one I had
a few weeks ago -- highly relevant matches would not receive a high
ranking. (This paragraph will apply to you only if you use more than
just one Analyzer for the set of your fields). I had six fields in my
index, most of which were populated with a standard analyzer. I used
self-made Analyzers for two of the fields. This turned out to be my
problem when using MultiFieldQueryParser: I told my
MultiFieldQueryParser instance to use only the standard analyzer.
Instead I discovered that I needed to make use of
org.apache.lucene.analysis.PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper and feed that to the
MultiFieldQueryParser. Unless you do this, your problem is whats
described here:
http://lucene.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/faq/faqmanager.cgi?file=chapter.in
dexing&toc=faq#q15.
Most likely, if your scoring is off, you're "doing something wrong" in
the way you use the Lucene API -- at least, thats what I've discovered
to be the case when my ranking is off.
If you're interested in the nitty-gritty of how scoring is done, check
