RE: Alphanumeric Wild Card Search Question
Hi Ken, I am using the WordDelimiterFilterFactory. I thought I needed it because I thought that's what gave me the control over the options of how the words are split and indexed? I did try taking it out completely, but that didn't seem to help. I'll try the analysis tool today. There has got to be a simple solution for this, but it is sure eluding me.

In case it helps, here's what I have currently, but I've been messing with different options: filter class=solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory generateWordParts=0 generateNumberParts=0 catenateWords=1 catenateNumbers=1 catenateAll=1 splitOnNumerics=0 preserveOriginal=1/ -Original Message- From: Carr, Adrian [mailto:adrian.c...@jtv.com] Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 9:28 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: Alphanumeric Wild Card Search Question Hi Ken, I am using the WordDelimiterFilterFactory.

Alphanumeric Wild Card Search Question
Hello Solr Users, I've tried to find the answer to this question, and have tried changing my configuration several times, but to no avail. I think someone on this list will know the answer. Here's my question: I have some products that I want to allow people to search for with wild cards. For example, if my product is YBM354, I'd like for users to be able to search on YBM*, YBM3*, YBM35* and for any of these searches to return that product. I've found that I can search for YBM* and get the product, just not the other combinations. I found this: http://www.nabble.com/Can%C2%B4t-use-wildcard-%22*%22-on-alphanumeric-values--td24369209.html, but adding preserveOriginal=1 doesn't seem to make a difference. I found an example here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory that is close, but I want to do the opposite. The example is: Super-Duper-XL500-42-AutoCoder! - 0:Super, 1:Duper, 2:XL, 2:SuperDuperXL, 3:500 4:42, . In this example, I want to be able to find this record by searching for XL5*. I appreciate the help. Please let me know if there are any questions. Thanks, Adrian Carr
