I want to implement type ahead styling feature for description field.For that I defined ngtext fieldtype.I indexed
description as text and then using copyfield indexed into ngtext field.But I found out that it is not working. If I put ngtext directly as a field type value without using copyfield it is working fine. I am not able to understand the reason behind it? <fieldType name="text" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true" /> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true" /> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> <fieldType name="ngtext" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="2" maxGramSize="50"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> <field name="description" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true" /> <copyField source="id" dest="ng_text"/>
