Subject: Re: Two different types of values in same field name in single index

I would be pretty skeptical of this approach You're
mixing numeric data with textual data and I expect
the results to be unpredictable. You already said
"it is working for most of the
documents except one or two documents." I predict
you'll find more and more of these as time passes.

Expect many more anomalies. At best you need to
index both forms as text rather than mixing numeric
and text data. Since you're not sorting you should be
OK with the caveat that searching for
"02" won't match an indexed value of "2" unless you
remove all leading zeros at both index and query
time.

Best,
Erick
