Re: searching for non-empty fields

thanks Peter, Hoss and Ryan.. q=(URL:[* TO *] -URL:"") This gives me 400 Query parsing error: Cannot parse '(URL:[* TO *] - URL:"")': Lexical error at line 1, column 29. Encountered: "\"" (34), after : "\"" adding something like: I'll do this but the problem here is I have to wait

Re: searching for non-empty fields

While in theory -URL:"" should be valid syntax, the Lucene query parser doesn't accept it and throws a ParseException. I've considered raising this issue on lucene-dev but it didn't seem to affect many users so I decided not to pursue the matter. On 27/09/2007, Chris Hostetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED

Re: searching for non-empty fields

Your query will work if you make sure the URL field is omitted from the document at index time when the field is blank. adding something like: to the schema field should do it without needing to ensure it is not null or "" on the client side. ryan

Re: searching for non-empty fields

I've experienced a similar problem before, assuming the field type is "string" (i.e. not tokenized), there is subtle yet important difference between a field that is null (i.e. not contained in the document) and one that is an empty string (in the document but with no value). See http://www.nabble.

searching for non-empty fields

I have a large index with a field for a URL. For some reason or another, sometimes a doc will get indexed with that field blank. This is fine but I want a query to return only the set URL fields... If I do a query like: q=URL:[* TO *] I get a lot of empty fields back, like: http://thing.
