Lucene Search SuggestWords()

Question

I used the Apache Lucene library to do a search method.

   public static List<String> suggestWords(String word, Directory directory, String field) {
       blabla
   }


Text
[Text]

text
[Next, Text, Heat, Sent, Test, Texts]

Had any of you ever work on this library, I would like to understand why when i search for Text I am getting the good word/words and when i search for text the first suggested word is Next and not Text. Should I always put the first letter of the word to UpperCase before searching the suggestWords list ?

Thank you !

Answer 1

In the Apache Lucene Library fields names are case sensitive. That could explain your issue with the Text and text case.

To avoid your issues, you might add a String.toLowercase() or Uppercase like you said, to ensure you to have the right answer.
