Hi there,

I've been thinking about to use hibernate search in our next project. But there is one thing I want to know.
Is there a possibility to query all existing indexes for a specified field?
For example our object has a field called keywords. The keywords of one object will be saved in a string like this: "calculator iphone scientific programmable" and of another object like this: "chess blackberry games".

Hibernate search will tokenize this words in an index tree.
And now I want to build a query which returns a list with all keywords. It should look like this: ("calculator", "iphone", "scientific", "programmable", "chess", "blackberry", "games").

Is that possible ?

Thank you and have a nice day

yes that's possible, when creating the fulltext Query you can optionally filter on a specific type, or just search across all indexed types.
It's not important if each indexed type is sharing the same index or not, or if one entity is using sharded indexes, or overall if you have mixed strategies, it will return a list of matching entities, each one of specific type.
