[Neo4j] Default Analyzer in Index Framework

[Mattias Persson]

Hi Rick,

yes you can do that, but not in a super easy way. What you'd have to do
right now to get it working is to make sure you create an index with a
special analyzer which converts everything to lower case (both additions and
queries), effectively making it case insensitive. So create a class like
this:

    public class LowerCaseAnalyzer extends Analyzer
    {
        @Override
        public TokenStream tokenStream( String fieldName, Reader reader )
        {
            return new LowerCaseFilter( Version.LUCENE_31, new
KeywordTokenizer( reader ) );
        }
    }

and make sure you create your index with a configuration map like:

    Index<Node> index = graphDb.index().forNodes(
            "myCaseInsensitiveIndex", MapUtil.stringMap( "analyzer",
LowerCaseAnalyzer.class.getName() ) );

then this will work:

    index.add( node, "name", "Rick Bullotta" );
    index.query( "name:\"rick bullotta\"" ); // ==> returns that node.
