Field types

Nixiesearch supports following field types:

• text fields: text, text[].
• numeric fields: int, float, long, double, bool.
• other fields: bool

Other field types like int[], float[], date and datetime are not yet supported - but are on the roadmap.

Text fields

Unlike other Lucene-based search engines, Nixiesearch has a distinction between singular and repeated fields on a schema level - so choose your field type wisely.

Numeric fields

Numeric fields int, float, long, double, bool are supported. The bool field is more an API syntax sugar and is built on top of an internal int field.
