Mike Sokolov commented on SOLR-1394: ------------------------------------ I'm pretty sure this issue is no longer valid. I don't use this code actively recently, so I can't speak with great authority, but I did look at some related issues, and it seems that quite a while ago LUCENE-3690 made major improvements in handling of entities, so perhaps this can simply be closed as fixed? > HTML stripper is splitting tokens > --------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-1394 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1394 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Schema and Analysis > Affects Versions: 1.4 > Reporter: Anders Melchiorsen > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.4 > > Attachments: SOLR-1394.patch, SOLR-1394.patch, hex-entity.patch > > > The Solr HTML stripper is replacing any removed HTML with whitespace. This is > to keep offsets correct for highlighting. > However, as was already pointed out in SOLR-42, this means that any token > containing an HTML entity will be split into several tokens. That makes the > HTML stripper completely unreliable for international text (and any text is > potentially interantional). > The current code is actually deficient for BOTH highlighting and indexing, > where the previous incarnation (that did not insert spaces) only had problems > with highlighting. > The only workaround is to not use entities at all, which is impossible in > some situations and inconvenient in most situations. If the client is > required to transform entities before handing it to Solr, it might as well be > required to also strip tags, and then the HTML stripper would not be needed > at all. > Today, we have a better solution that can be used: offset correction. We can > then avoid inserting extra whitespace, but still get correct offsets. The > attached patch implements just that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
