Question

I’m trying to index and STORE file content (plain text), but it seems using that way it isn’t possible:

protected Document getDocument(File f) throws Exception {
  Document doc = new Document();
  Field contents = new Field("contents", new FileReader(f));
  Field filename = new Field("filename", f.getName(), Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED);
  doc.add(contents);
  return doc;
}

How to store content of plain text file (without any tags)?

Answer 1

Just read the file contents and use another Field constructor, something like

protected Document getDocument(File f) throws Exception {
  Document doc = new Document();
  Field contents = new Field("contents", new Scanner(f).useDelimiter("\\A").next(), Store.YES, Index.NO);  // you should actually close the scanner
  Field filename = new Field("filename", f.getName(), Store.YES, Index.ANALYZED);
  doc.add(contents);
  doc.add(filename);
  return doc;
}
