: Is what is shown in "analysis" the same as what is stored in a field?
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_5/analyzers.html The output of an Analyzer affects the terms indexed in a given field (and the terms used when parsing queries against those fields) but it has no impact on the stored value for the fields. For example: an analyzer might split "Brown Cow" into two indexed terms "brown" and "cow", but the stored value will still be a single String: "Brown Cow" : So I indexed a document with "the quick brown fox jumped over the : sleeping dog" set for stuff_raw and when I query for the document : stuff_stems just has "the quick brown fox jumped over the sleeping : dog" and NOT "quick brown fox jump over sleep dog" https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_5/copying-fields.html Fields are copied before analysis is done, meaning you can have two fields with identical original content, but which use different analysis chains and are stored in the index differently. : Also stuff_everything only contains a single item, which is weird : because I copy two things into it. https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_5/copying-fields.html Copying is done at the stream source level and no copy feeds into another copy. This means that copy fields cannot be chained i.e., you cannot copy from here to there and then from there to elsewhere. However, the same source field can be copied to multiple destination fields: -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
