Hibernate Search version: 3.1.0b

Hello,

I've only just got Hibernate Search indexing a Product table for fullTextQuerying, just sweetly and speedily!
(and Luke looks pretty useful!)

But I have, on the same table, two unindexed fields that I would like to include in the query - countrycode and categoryid. (So I might want to select only products from the UK and/or products from a given category)

Is the answer a Filter?
(Bought the Hibernate Search in Action PDF but I need to run and walk now so to speak.)

Kind regards,

Ok, this is the scenario .. I have a Product table which is currently indexed
for Hibernate Search on the Product Name and Production Description fields.
But I want to also select on Category ID and/or Country Code.

Now reading through the Filter documentation (in Hibernate in Action), a filter is applied after the initial Lucene query.
I don't think this is what I want as I need to limit the search results ... so if I say only return the 1st 200 results and then apply a Country Code filter then I could end up with very little or no results!

This would indicate that I need to add the Country Code and Category Id to the lucene index and then somehow be able to include this is in the Hibernate Search query.

Now to try that ... any ideas/tips will be appreciated.
