: 1) If the content of indexAnalyzer and queryAnalyzer are exactly the same, : that's the same as if I have an analyzer only, right?
Effectively yes. Subtle nuance: if you declare 1 analyzer, there is one Analyzer object in ram. If you declare both, then there are 2 Analyzer objects in RAM -- even if they are identical. For some theoretical Analyzer, this might cause slightly diff behavior (ie: an analyzer that maintains long term state) : 2) Under the hood, all three are the same thing when it comes to what kind : of data and configuration attributes can take, right? correct. : What I'm trying to figure out is this: beside being able to configure a : fieldType to have different analyzer setting at index and query time, there : is nothing else that's unique about each. nope. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
