Turns out that, for the standard requestHandler, running this SearchComponent first causes its rewritten query to be lost. Running last fixed the problem. (I'd *love* to know why that would be necessary.)
But I'd still like comment as to whether the WildcardFilter construct is expected to be efficient in this context, or not. ;-) Karl ________________________________________ From: Wright Karl (Nokia-S/Cambridge) Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 2:57 PM To: connectors-...@incubator.apache.org Subject: Solr query question Hi Solr-knowledgeable folks, The LCF Solr SearchComponent plugin I'm developing doesn't quite work. The query I'm trying to do is: -(allow_token_document:*) and -(deny_token_document:*) and <the user's search> The result I'm seeing is that everything in the user's search matches, unlike what I see in the admin UI, where the above query works perfectly. The code I'm using to do the negative wildcard searches is as follows: public void prepare(ResponseBuilder rb) throws IOException { BooleanFilter bf = new BooleanFilter(); // No authenticated user name; only return 'public' documents (those with no security tokens at all) // That query is: // (fieldAllowShare is empty AND fieldDenyShare is empty AND fieldAllowDocument is empty AND fieldDenyDocument is empty) // We're trying to map to: -(fieldAllowShare:*) , which should be pretty efficient in Solr because it is negated. If this turns out not to be so, then we should // have the SolrConnector inject a special token into these fields when they otherwise would be empty, and we can trivially match on that token. bf.add(new FilterClause(new WildcardFilter(new Term(fieldAllowDocument,"*")),BooleanClause.Occur.MUST_NOT)); bf.add(new FilterClause(new WildcardFilter(new Term(fieldDenyDocument,"*")),BooleanClause.Occur.MUST_NOT)); // Concatenate with the user's original query. FilteredQuery query = new FilteredQuery(rb.getQuery(),bf); rb.setQuery(query); } Any hints welcome!
