Luceners, I can order without having any document indexed. The problem was that I make an instance of Sort(String name) instead of Sort(String name, int type). According to the api, Sort(String name) will automatically detect the type of the field. But It couldn't detect a field type String and then throw me a runtime exception. The error message said
field "shortName" does not appear to be indexed and I thought I couldn't look up not indexed fields. This only happened to me when it wasn't any document at all indexed. But if it was at least one document indexed, this exception doesn't appear. I think that it should show a message like It couldn't detect the field type Or something like this, because it was very confusing to me the message error. -----Mensaje original----- De: Wermus Fernando [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: Jueves, 16 de Septiembre de 2004 11:07 a.m. Para: Lucene Users List Asunto: SortField[] in search method (newbie) Why can I search fields that aren't indexed without any problem, but if I ask for ordering by one of these fields, I got a runtime exception? I can't understand this behavior. I mean if I don't have any document indexed with these fields, why can I search by these fields and I can't ask for ordering by one of them? At the beginning I don't have any document at all, and I will need to order anyway, because I don't know that. Thanks. -----Mensaje original----- De: Praveen Peddi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: Miércoles, 15 de Septiembre de 2004 03:13 p.m. Para: Lucene Users List Asunto: Re: problem with SortField[] in search method (newbie) Does it mean you indexed all "not null" fields?. I think you should change your code so that you always index the fields you want to sort. In any case, it looks like some of your documents have shortName not null and not indexed. If you do not have any non-indexed shotnames in the index, I don't think u would have got that error. But I may be wrong.

Besides, I can't know in advance if they are indexed in my app, because I index those fields that have some value, if it doesn't I don't add it to the document. What if I don't have any document indexed? -----Mensaje original----- De: Aviran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: Miércoles, 15 de Septiembre de 2004 02:35 p.m. Para: 'Lucene Users List' Asunto: RE: problem with SortField[] in search method (newbie) You can only sort on indexed field. (even more than that, it'll work properly only on Untokenized fields, ie keyword).

My entities are accounts, contacts, tasks, etc. My searching looks up a group of entity's fields. This works fine despite, I don't have indexed any entity in a document. But If I sort by some fields from different entities, I get the following error. field "shortName" does not appear to be indexed The account's field I have indexed are shortName,number,location,fax,phone,symbol and I order by shortName ---------------------------------------------------- without any order shortName,number,location,fax,phone,symbol it works fine. ---- I don't understand the behavior because If I don't order the searching and I don't have any document indexed, It works fine, but If I add an order I get a runtimeException and I can't catch the exception to solve the problem. The only solution it's to index the whole fields' entitities once in a document, but for me it's a patch. Any idea, it could help me out.
