Hello,
this is my first post on this forum, I'm playing little bit with Lucene and Zend Framework.

I'm not able to find how to setup a date field and how to search
on it. E.g. I need to have all documents that have the field-abc with
yesterday date. How can i do it ?

Luca

Lucene stores its field data as text, as its purpose is as a full-text search. In other words, there aren't any data types. However, you may get some mileage out of using the string representation of the date (e.g. 2008-02-28), and then can filter your results of a Lucene search by matching the date strings up. If you need something more powerful (such as being able to determine if a date is within a range) then Lucene may not be the best solution for your app... perhaps there is a hybrid approach you can use... using Lucene to do your full-text, and get the db IDs you need to then pull the dates back from there and further filter and then display your results.

Hey, I also found this recently in the Docs:

Zend Framework: Documentation: Zend_Search_Lucene: Query Language: Ranges

You may need to update your Framework from SVN, but this may be more hepful then my other advice. It uses a date range as the example.

I am trying to order articles by date, but seems that Zend Lucene does not boder the sorting options and it returns the same array. Any idea?
