I note from previous entries on the mailing list and my own experiments that you can add many entries to the same field for each document. Example: a given document belongs to more than one product, ergo I index the product field with values "PROD_A" and "PROD_B".
If I don't tokenise the fields when adding them to the document, then when storing the values and printing them out before adding them to the index, so I can see what the index is recording, I do indeed get Keyword<product:PROD_A> Keyword <product:PROD_B> However, a query on product:PROD_A returns no results, neither does a query on product:PROD_B. If I tokenize the fields (i.e. the document content reads Text<product:PROD_A> Text<product:PROD_B), then it works correctly. [n.b. I am using the .NET implementation of Lucene, but its behaviour is said to be identical to the Java Lucene.] 1) Is this expected behaviour? If so, are multiple fields of the same name to a document silently converted to a string/array representation of some kind? 2) Is it sensible behaviour? I ask because it seems to me contrary to instinct, and also because my guess would be that a Keyword index would be faster to add (and faster to query?) than a Text index.
