ok, great to know -- all this is invaluable. i'm stashing away "ideas" like this for the future (because..) i think for now i'll stick with XSL transforming the fields to lowercase because we already need this small XSLT from our item XML to XML that solr can index. -t Chris Hostetter wrote: : so for my dwindling number of remaining "string" types, in my XSL : transform (on the input to index the doc) i'll lowercase them all, too 8-) I don't beleive that is strictly neccessary, these two field types should be functionally equivilent... <fieldtype name="string" class="solr.StrField"/> <fieldtype name="tstring" class="solr.TextField"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldtypes> ...so i'm pretty sure you could just use... <fieldtype name="lowerCaseString" class="solr.TextField"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldtypes> -Hoss --        --Tracey Jaquith - http://www.archive.org/~tracey --
