Is it possible in lucene for numeric search

Hi,
   
  I found that lucene is a full-featured text search engine. Is it 
possible to make it for numeric search. In my appl. I need to look 
in to the index for score=75. 

regards,
k.senthilkumar

You can also use a RangeQuery.  If you index the field of numeric data, say
'score', as a string, then you can do things like: score:[75 TO 80].  Only
extra work is that you need to pad the actual score with enough 0's (such
that 9 becomes 09, etc.) to cover the expected range.

Regards,

Terry

Yes, you can do numeric searches as long as you realize its really just 
text that is indexed.  You will need to ensure the Analyzer you use 
indexes numbers appropriately as well.
