lucene datatypes

Hello,



I would like to ask how lucene handles different datatypes, or "String"
is the only available datatype.



Best regards,

Re: lucene datatypes [In reply to]

Solr provides semantics on Lucene fields for handling other data
types, and there are some tools (DateTools, NumberTools) for
converting some types to Strings for searching. But yeah, Strings are
pretty much the only thing Lucene cares about when it comes to
searching.
