Hibernate Search does not allow definition of multiple analyzers with the same name, even when in different class files. It treats them as global. Fine. But then why can't I define them in one place in a package-info.java? When I try to do so, I get errors complaining about it not being able to find the analyzer for the named definition. It will only work if I include the definition in some indexed class.

I guess a workaround would be to just define a dummy indexed class and include the definitions there, but it would be nice if the package-level annotations could also be picked up.

Right, at the moment you would have to collect all analyzer mappings in an entity. An alternative could be to create a SearchMapping instance just defining the global analyzers programmatically and then adding this mapping to properties of the configuration using the key hibernate.search.model_mapping. I haven't tried this, but it should work.

You can also open a jira issue in HSEARCH regarding considering package level annotations.

Ok, I'll open a jira. Thanks, Hardy.
