Remarks

WARNING: Make sure you use exactly the same at index and query time -- s are only comparable when produced by the same . s are independently versioned, so it is safe to search against stored s if the following are exactly the same (best practice is to store this information with the index and check that they remain the same at query time):

  1. Collator version - see Version
  2. The collation strength used - see

s generated by ICU Collators are not compatible with those generated by java.text.Collators. Specifically, if you use ICUCollationAttributeFactory to generate index terms, do not use CollationAttributeFactory on the query side, or vice versa.

ICUCollationAttributeFactory is significantly faster and generates significantly shorter keys than CollationAttributeFactory. See http://site.icu-project.org/charts/collation-icu4j-sun for key generation timing and key length comparisons between ICU4J and java.text.Collator over several languages.
