Yes, it fixed my problem. Removing the StopWord in the StandardAnalyzer allowed me to create the correct query I needed for the search. Then no result where returned. So when creating the index we needed to remove these StopWord from the StandardAnalyzer used in the IndexWriter. Recreating the index without the StopWord fixed the problem. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Single-character-search-tp2452002p2466577.html Sent from the Lucene - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
