Searching for a single letter

In our current project we are maintaining status for each record , it is of length 1, lucene query is returning () when I search on single letter. Please assist me on solving this issue.

My query is:

luceneQuery = b.phrase().onField("trustLevel").sentence("a").createQuery();

Hi,
if your records have a single letter you should try a keyword query. A phrase query is meant for complex sentences and paragraphs.

Code:

luceneQuery = new TermQuery( new Term( "trustLevel", "a" );

Also, make sure your trustLevel property is not being analyzed.

Quote:

@Field(analyze = Analyze.NO)

This will get you an "exact match" query, disabling all fuzziness. N.B. case will have to match as well.
