This is in Solr 1.3.
I have some text in our database in the form 0088698183939. The leading zeros
are useless, but I want to able to search it with no leading zeros or several
leading zeros. So, I decided to index this as a long, expecting it to just
store it as a number. But, instead, I see this in the index:
<arr name="upcean">
<long>0088698183939</long>
</arr>
Shouldn't the leading zeros be gone since this is a number. And when I search
on it, I only get a hit if I include two leading zeros. I could just clean
everything on both index and search time, but could someone explain what is
going on here? Thanks.
