Hello,

I currently use Lucene version 3.0...probably need to upgrade to a more
current version soon.
The problem that I have is when I test search for a an HTML tag (ex.
<strong>), Lucene returns
the highlighted HTML tag ~ which is what I DO NOT want.  Is there a way to
"filter" HTML tags?
I have read up on HTMLStripChar filter (packaged with Solr) and wondered if
this is the way to go?

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Hi okayndc,

What *do* you want?

Hello,

I want to ignore HTML tags within a search.  ~ I should not be able to
search for a HTML tag (ex. <strong>) and get back the highlighted HTML tag
(ex. <span class="highlighted"><strong></span>) in a result set.

Thanks

okayndc,

A field configured to use HTMLStripCharFilter as part of its index-time analyzer will strip out HTML tags before index terms are created by the tokenizer, so HTML tags will not be put into the index.  As a result, queries for HTML tags cannot match the original documents' HTML tags (in the field configured to use HTMLStripCharFilter, anyway).

So HTMLStripCharFilter should do what you want.

I want to retain the formatted HTML in a result but, want to ignore (or
filter out) HTML tags in a search, if this makes sense?

There is a way to encode HTML tags:
