[Yanel-dev] [Yarep Search] Lucene implementation flaw re searching a particular property

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

I just noticed that the Lucene implementation:

src/impl/java/org/wyona/yarep/impl/search/lucene/LuceneSearcher.java#searchProperty(String, 
String, String)

does also use the Lucene QueryParser, which means one can do searches 
like for example

String queryText = "workflow-state:" + workflowState + " AND " + 
"yarep_mimeType:" + "application/news+xml"
getRealm().getRepository().getSearcher().searchProperty("workflow-state", queryText, 
"/");

because the queryText is parsed by the QueryParser and the field 
"workflow-state" is only
used as default field, but has no relevance for the QueryParser if a 
queryText is specified as above.

This might be a nice workaround, but is not intended, but one should 
actually only be able to
search one property.

I hope nobody relies on this flaw, because I think we should fix it and 
rather offer an improved query API.

Cheers

Michael
