newbie question on determining fieldtype

[mike topper <mt...@riseup.net>]

Hi,

I have a question that I couldn't find the exact answer to. 

I have some fields that I want to add to my schema but will never be 
searched on.  They are only used as additional information about a 
document when retrieved.  They are integers, so should i just have the 
field be:

<field name="foo"             type="integer"             indexed="false" stored="true"/>

I'm pretty sure this is right, but I just wanted to check that I'm not missing any speedups from using a different field
or adding some other parameters.

-Mike

Seems pretty right to me.

Did you read 
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaXml

and saw the comment:
 <!-- numeric field types that store and index the text
         value verbatim (and hence don't support range queries, since
the
         lexicographic ordering isn't equal to the numeric ordering) -->
