"Right" combination of analyzers for indexing and searching

[Jeff Rodenburg <je...@gmail.com>]

Question to those who've deployed and maintained Lucene: any recommendations 
or observations about practical decisions regarding analyzer choice in 
indexing & searching? What have you found in operation to work well, become 
difficult, yield better/worse results, affect performance, etc.? What would 
you do differently if you were starting from scratch?

Cheers from sunny Seattle,

Hi Jeff,

This is a tough question to answer, because there is no universal
answer.  The choice of Analyzer depends on what/how you are trying to
index/search.  I've used analyzers from the Lucene distributions, but
have also written specialized ones.  My suggestion for you is to start
with the StandardAnalyzer, as it covers most users' needs.  Then, if
you encounter problems, come back with the description of the problem,
and we'll try helping.
