Different analyzers for each field

Question

Hi,

How can I enable different analyzers for each field in a document I'm indexing with Lucene? Example:

        RAMDirectory dir = new RAMDirectory();
        IndexWriter iw = new IndexWriter(dir, new StandardAnalyzer(Lucene.Net.Util.Version.LUCENE_CURRENT), true, IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.UNLIMITED);
        Document doc = new Document();
        Field field1 = new Field("field1", someText1, Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED, Field.TermVector.WITH_POSITIONS_OFFSETS);
        Field field2 = new Field("field2", someText2, Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED, Field.TermVector.WITH_POSITIONS_OFFSETS);
        doc.Add(field1);
        doc.Add(field2);
        iw.AddDocument(doc);
        iw.Commit();

The analyzer is an argument to the IndexWriter, but I want to use StandardAnalyzer for field1 and SimpleAnalyzer for field2, how can I do that? The same applies when searching, of course. The correct analyzer must be applied for each field.

PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper is what you are looking for. The equivalent of this in Lucene.net is here.
