Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-4369:
----------------------------------

Didn't we spcifically get rid of an enums called TOKENIZED and UN_TOKENIZED because they convoluted the concept of tokenization with analysis?  weren't there users who wanted "keyword" tokenization combined with other tokenfilters who thought UN_TOKENIZED was what they wanted?

Perhaps TextField should be renamed AnalyzedTextField and StringField should be NonAnalyzedTextField ?

> There's a huge difference between TextField and StringField, StringField screws up scoring and bypasses your Analyzer.
> (see java-user thread "Custom Analyzer Not Called When Indexing" as an example.)
> The name we use here is vital, otherwise people will get bad results.
> I think we should rename StringField to MatchOnlyField.
