Hi all,
I have a question about updating the lucene document. I know that there =
is no API to do that now. So this is what I am doing in order to update =
the document with the field "title".

1) Get the document from lucene index
2) Remove a field called "title" and add the same field with a modified =
value
3) Remove the docment (based on one of our field) using Reader and then =
close the Reader.
4) Add the document that is obtained in 1 and modified in 2.

I am not sure if this is the right way of doing it but I am having =
problems searching for that document after updating it. The problem is =
only with the un stored fields.

For example, I search as "description:boy" where description is a =
unstored, indexed, tokenized field in the document. I find 1 document. =
Now I update the document the document's title as descripbed above and =
repeat the same search "description:boy" and now I don't find any =
results. I have not touched the field "description" at all. I just =
updated the field title.

Is this an expected behaviour? If not, is it a bug.

If I change the field description as stored, indexed and tokenized, the =
search works fine before and after updating.

Praveen
