querying multiple fields
All,
Forgive me for the basic question. When you are querying multiple
fields using QueryParser, what is the exact code?
I tried QueryParser.parse(queryString, "SearchTerms", analyzer) where
queryString was "SearchTerms:visnu temple ImageExistsBit:1",
SearchTerms and ImageExistsBit being the two fields I want searched.
However it does not seem to do what I want it to do.
TIA,
George

What analyzer are you using? What is the .toString of the generated
Query instance? How did you index those fields?
Without answering those, it'd be guess work to offer any help.

It would solve a lot of folks questions! I find the analysis part of
Lucene fascinating. The really interesting thing is that its
actually quite simple, yet packs a lot of power. What makes a word a
"word" (or term, in the Lucene sense) - that is quite a fun
rhetorical question to ask. This is why I strongly advocate the use
of the AnalyzerDemo from the Lucene in Action source code, or some
variant thereof (like Luke's capability to do the same sort of
thing). Visually seeing what comes out of the analysis process for
sample strings is really eye opening.

Wow, they're slow... 'cause I know you ordered it back in December
when it was released :))
Don't forget that you can get the book from Manning (www.manning.com)
in e-book form and have the hard-copy of it as well.

Erik,
That worked like a charm. It seems to me that reading up on the
different analyzers would solve a lot of questions in my mind.
Unfortunately your book has not arrived yet from Amazon. Aarrgh!
Thanks a ton!

Your analyzer is eating the ImageExistsBit:1 because "1" returns no
tokens through StopAnalyzer. Here's a solution, adapted from the
code that powers lucenebook.com. Use this as your analyzer:
PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper analyzer = new PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper
(new StopAnalyzer());
analyzer.addAnalyzer("ImageExistsBit", new WhitespaceAnalyzer());
That should do the trick.

Otis,
I think MultiFieldQueryParser (if I am not mistaken) uses the same
query string to search multiple fields. Let me know if it is
otherwise.
Erik,
Let me see if I can answer those questions. Here are some code
snippets, by the way.
FOR INDEX
IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(indexDir, new StopAnalyzer(), true);
while (rs.next()){ //rs is a database resultset I am looping over
Document doc = new Document();
doc.add(Field.Keyword("ObjectID", ObjectID));
doc.add(Field.Keyword("ImageExistsBit",
ImageExistsBit));//ImageExistsBit is 1 or 0
doc.add(Field.Text("SearchTerms", SearchTerms));
writer.addDocument(doc);
writer.optimize();
writer.close();
}
FOR SEARCH
searcher = new IndexSearcher(IndexReader.open(indexPath) );
Analyzer analyzer = new StopAnalyzer();
luceneQuery = QueryParser.parse(queryString, "SearchTerms", analyzer);
hits = searcher.search(luceneQuery);
System.out.println("Found " + hits.length() + " document(s).");
What I want: I want all the ObjectIDs that have the term 'visnu
temple' in the SearchTerms field and has ImageExistsBit=1. So the
queryString above is: SearchTerms:\"visnu temple\" ImageExistsBit:1".
The .toString() for this query is SearchTerms:"visnu temple"
Thanks,
George

George,
You can use MultiFieldQueryParser instead of QueryParser.
