I have an index of around 3 million records, and typical queries
can result in result sets of between 1 and 400,000 results.
We have indexed "dateTime" fields in the form 20050415142, that is, to
10-minute precision.
When I try to sort queries I get something back that is roughly sorted
on index, but not quite. Stuff is out of order just a bit. The
size of the result set does not seem to be related occurance of
this problem.
We've tried lucene 1.4-final and1.4.3.
my code looks like this
s = new Sort( new SortField[] { new SortField( "dateTime", SortField.STRING,
true ), SortField.FIELD_SCORE } );
...
hits = searcher.search( qry, s );
Any help is appreciated, I'm so far baffled by this problem.
Regards,
James
