Ok I think I'm getting it. At Index/Query time the analyzers fire and "do stuff". Ex: "the sheep jumped over the MOON" that could be Tokened on spaces, lowercased etc. and that is stored in the Inverted Index, something you probably can't really see.
In solr the string above is what you see in its original form. When you search for "sheep" that would come back because the Inverted Index has it stored in that form, separated words based on spaces, right? Further if I searched for moon (lowercase) it would be found because the analyzer is also storing in the Inverted Index the lowercase form, right? I'm getting closer I think. Ok so if I want to physically lowercase the URL and store it that way, I need to do it before it gets to the Index as you stated. Ok got it, Thanks!

It sounds like you are assuming that when index analysis happens, that what you get back in search results will be affected by that analysis. What you get back in search results is stored data -- that is never affected by analysis. What gets affected by analysis is indexed data -- the data that is searched by queries. Not the data that comes back in search results. Thanks, Shawn ************************************************************************* This e-mail may contain confidential or privileged information.
