with the apache commons digester i can read each record into a lucene document and push each tag as key-value pair, where the tag name (eg. creator) is the lucene field name and the text enclosed by it the corresponding string value.
for a lot of purposes it is much more comfortable to have the possibility to search over all fields.
does an alternative exist to performing as many queries as there are fields in the index
(all the same term but different fields)?
One common way to do it is index all text you want searchable into a single default field, just glue it all together.
Another option is to use the MultiFieldQueryParser, which automatically OR's the same query for each field together for you.
Personally, I'd recommend a single searchable field.
