hi all,
i'm trying to query unindexed properties, but using the lucene query syntax. maybe any can help me.
i'm using the jpa and have an User entity with a status property.



the result has always no entries! what is wrong?
thanks,

Hi,

I am not sure what you are trying to say with - "trying to query unindexed properties". If something is not indexed you can of course not search for it in the Lucene index. Well, you can, but of course your result set will be empty.

In case there is a misunderstanding, just post your fully annotated User class and the code you use to index and then search the User entity.

thanks for your answer hardy,

that' exaclty the problem:

the property "status" which i searched for is not indexed, so that any query on it returned no result.
my thought is that it could happen that i want to search any unindexed property in future releases of my application and that the nice lucene query syntax can be applied to these unindexed properties.

if it is not possible, thats a pity, but i know about it and can go on!

ciao,

Hi,

If you want to search on an unindexed property at a later stage you just have to add @indexed to the entity, redeploy your application and rebuild your index.

Or you just index the property right from the beginning, but just never search on on it for now. Of course this might increase the index size and impact the performace. However, that depends on the problem size and use case.
