I guess you're hitting my problem. The field I want to search on is declared with store=false in the schema.xml: -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 <field name="text" type="text" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/> -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 I guess I have to re-index all my corpus again, after modifying that declaration in my schema.xml (or choosing a different field in the example schema -- which one?)

I am using the field 'text', which is of fieldType 'text', from the example schema. I choosed it with no clue -- I guessed what could have been the fields for my docs, and picked up that one. Should I have made a different choice? Are you saying that all fields then are "copied" into some "behind the scenes" 'text' field, and that is the real purpose of the following field in the example schema? -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 <field name="text" type="text" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/> -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 -- -- >8 Then, what is a better suited field from the pool of fields that are available off-the-shelf in the example schema, given that my goal is to make text searches into that field? Jack: > Rather, add the original source field(s) > to "fl" that was/were copied to the catchall field. If anything has been copied from a field to another, this has happened beyond my intentions :-) I picked up the 'text' field since I thought it was good for text search. You're saying it isn't, if I understand you correctly. > But do make sure that "stored=true" for any field > you want returned in search results. ok noted. cheers, GGhh
