KuroSaka TeruHiko created SOLR-3962:
---------------------------------------
Summary: For the match-all-docs query *:*, (e)dismax parser passes
"*:*" to tokenizer. Under certain conditions, hit suboptimal (<1.0) score is
reported.
Key: SOLR-3962
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3962
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Components: query parsers
Affects Versions: 4.0, 3.6, 3.5
Reporter: KuroSaka TeruHiko
My understanding is that the special match-all-docs query "\*:\*" shouldn't
call tokenizers and all hits should have score 1.0. In fact, this is usually
the case.
But, when all of these conditions are met, suboptimal (<1.0) hit scores are
reported:
* dismax or edismax parser is used
* a tokenizer that splits "\*:\*" into multiple tokens is used
* pf parameter is specified for a field that uses the above tokenizer
Use case:
* We created a Japanese tokenizer which happens to break "\*:\*" into three
tokens representing each symbols.
* Our client uses this tokenizer for Japanese with edismax on Solr 3.6.
* They have pf=text^0.5 in the default section in solrconfig.xml.
* When search is done with the query string "\*:\*", all the hits from Japanese
has the score much less than 1.0.
Below is how to simulate this situation with a NGramTokenizer. (It is not
realistic.)
1. Run Solr with the default setting. Post all *.xml docs in
examples/exampledocs.
2. Stop the Solr.
3. Add this fieldType:
{noformat}
<fieldtype name="text_fake" class="solr.TextField"
positionIncrementGap="100">
<analyzer type="index">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
</analyzer>
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.NGramTokenizerFactory"
maxGramSize="1"
minGramSize="1" />
</analyzer>
</fieldtype>
{noformat}
4. Change the field definition of "name" to use "text_fake".
5. Restart Solr
6. GET this URL:
http://localhost:8983/solr/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=*%3A*&fq=&start=0&rows=10&fl=*%2Cscore&qt=&wt=&debugQuery=on&defType=edismax&pf=name
Below is an excerpt of query debug output. Notice that "\*:\*" is expanded
with spaces to "\* : \*":
