It's not actually deprecated yet. > See src/test/org/apache/lucene/index/Test2BTerms or > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2551 for examples of how > to do this. AFAICT, Test2BTerms only deals with the indexing side of this issue, and doesn't test searching. LUCENE-2551 does, however, test searching. Why hasn't this been committed yet? I had just assumed that it was because fully indexable/searchable binary terms were not yet ready for prime time. I hadn't realized that native binary terms were fully functional - is there any reason why integers (for example) could not be directly indexable/searchable? Steve
