I am trying to do a search with some criteria



and then page it



I suspect Lucene return full result of the full text search without taking the criteria into account and then hibernate search applies the criteria after, therefore some page are empty (after filtering by criteria)

What is proper way to do fullTextSearch with some criteria, is it possible to apply the criteria before the lucene search?

Or do I have to use pure Lucene (if so what's the point of Hibernate Search?)

(I found this post, is this still true that paging is not supported? viewtopic.php?t=980849&highlight=hibernate+search+pagination)

Thanks in advance

Hi,

pagination is supported, just not in the combined case of Criteria + Search query.
The solution to your problem would be to index all data relevant for the search using Hibernate Search annotations. Then you write your query completely as Lucene query. The point here is that even though you are doing a Lucene query you are getting Hibernate managed objects back. Also using the mapping annotations you don't have to write any boiler plate code to map between index and object world.
