I'm trying to incorporate Lucene.net in my web search.
Currently I have a lucene.net index that contains +1 million documents with 7 fields each.
The last field is the "all" field that has the content of the previous fields concatenated. Searching the all field is just EXTREMELY fast 🙂
But I feel there is more to be found here. How can I make a search that searches one or more space separated strings over all the fields without using the "all" field?
I want to be able to give weights to certain fields. Furthermore it would be really nice if the search contained information on WHERE the hit took place so I can show it in the result.
I think this is all possible, but I don't immideatelly see how.
Any help?

I don't think you need to maintain an "all" field.
Good luck
