Someone want to chime in? I looks like that the whole string will be used as a token, as the KeywordTokenizerFactory already does. You're right that it's always better to explicitly specify what you want. But as I didn't know what the KeywordTokenizerFactory does before (I assumed that it would tokenize the string into several keywords), and as long as I'm in development phase, the un-specified behaviour was quite okay for me. Once again, thank you for your help! Michael
