Hi there,

I have a list of fields which I'm adding to the query using MultiFieldQueryParser. The query constructed is what I want. I have a situation where I need to add another field to the query which will always have the same value to be searched.

For Example my current code is
private String[] opportunityFields = { "oppSubject", "oppSolNbr",
"oppDesc", "oppSetaside", "oppLocation", };

QueryParser parser = new MultiFieldQueryParser(opportunityFields,
new StandardAnalyzer());

Query luceneQuery = parser.parse(this.queryString);

Now I want to add a field call isactive and I want to search for a value Y

How can I do that ?

Hi,
I'd suggest you to use a FullTextFilter. You can apply a filter on top of a query and it can be cached, so you can reuse the filter for many queries: that makes it a good choice in case the value is always the same. Also it's good to apply "programmatic" constraints to dynamic generated queries as you do.

Thanks a bunch. I will try that. Is there an example on it ?

Thanks

reference documentation has some examples: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/ ... e/#d0e2970
There are more in the unit tests (look into the sources), and Hibernate Search in Action (The book) as a whole chapter on it with more examples and implementations.
