hi,

We generate the Lucene index using Hibernate Search API. Since the indexed values have trailing white spaces, the search on the index fails since there is no exact match because the search terms do not have white spaces at the end. How can we trim the trailing white spaces in strings before indexing?

Thanks,
Seema

Hi Seema,

you have to use the right analyzer for indexing to solve you problem. Have a look at the online documentation and how @AnalyzerDef can be used to build a custom analyzer. There exists a TrimFilterFactory which you can add to your custom analyzer definition which can take care of the trimming.
