I'm a bit confused on the concept of fields. From what I've read, a field does not have to be indexed but its value can be stored in an index. Likewise a field can be indexed but its value is not stored in an index. Now how can a field be searchable when its value is not stored in the index and vice-versa? Again, I'm new to the Index/Search paradigm. Thanks in advanced. -los _________________________________________________________________ Find a local pizza place, music store, museum and more�then map the best route! http://local.live.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscribe@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-help@lucene.apache.org
