Thanks for the tip. I went to their website (www.fastsearch.com), and got as far as the second line, top left 'A Microsoft Subsidiary'...at which point, hopes of it being another open source solution quickly faded. ;-) Seriously, though, it looks like an interesting product, but open source is a mandatory requirement for my particular application. But the fact they implemented this functionality would seem to support that it's a valid requirement, and I'll keep plugging away on it. Thank you very much for bringing FAST to my attention...I appreciate it! Best regards...

They actually use a modified base-32 encoded value for indexing, but that is because they don't have the luxury of untokenized/un-processed String fields like Solr.
