Lucene : Best way to store and query a datastructure

Question

I have a product whose price vary with day of week and season (like hotel room). So consider, i have a rate card (and I can attach multiple rate cards to a product)

RateCard fields are

DateTime startdate
DateTime enddate
int priority
double price
double mon_surcharge
double tue_surcharge
double wed_surcharge
double thur_surcharge
double fri_surcharge
double sat_surcharge
double sun_surcharge

So my question is - how can i find product with order: start and end date, with range of min-max prices and sort them by price Any suggestions

Answer 1

In Lucen.NET I'd recommend that you change the structure of the price data to mon_price, tue_price, etc rather then having daily surcharges that must be added to price.

If you go with a daily price field then doing a range search on that field (or fields) should work great.
