Field Detail

### NO

    public static final Field.Index NO

  Do not index the field value. This field can thus not be searched, but one can still access its contents provided it is `stored`.

### TOKENIZED

    public static final Field.Index TOKENIZED

  Index the field's value so it can be searched. An Analyzer will be used to tokenize and possibly further normalize the text before its terms will be stored in the index. This is useful for common text.

### UN_TOKENIZED

    public static final Field.Index UN_TOKENIZED

  Index the field's value without using an Analyzer, so it can be searched. As no analyzer is used the value will be stored as a single term. This is useful for unique Ids like product numbers.

### NO_NORMS

    public static final Field.Index NO_NORMS

  Index the field's value without an Analyzer, and disable the storing of norms. No norms means that index-time boosting and field length normalization will be disabled. The benefit is less memory usage as norms take up one byte per indexed field for every document in the index. Note that once you index a given field with norms enabled, disabling norms will have no effect. In other words, for NO_NORMS to have the above described effect on a field, all instances of that field must be indexed with NO_NORMS from the beginning.
