Re: Dismax - Boosting

2010-11-22 Thread Solr User
Hi Ahmet,

In the past we used /spell and if there is not match then we use to get a
list of suggestions and then we use to make another call with the first
suggestion to get search results. After that we show user both suggestions
for the spelling mistake and results of the first suggestion.

I think the URL that you provided which has plug in will do help doing that.

Is there a way from Solr to directly get the spelling suggestions as well as
first suggestion data at the same time?

For example:

if seach keywork is mooon (typed by mistake instead of moon)

the we need all suggestions like:

Did you mean:  moon, mo, mooing, moonen, soon, mood, moose, moore,
spoon, moons?

and also the search results for the first suggestion moon.

Thanks,
Solr User

 Searching and spell checking are independent. For example you can search on
 10 fields, and create suggestions from 2 fields. Spell checker accepts one
 field in its configuration. So you need to populate this field with
 copyField. Using the fields that you want to use spell checking. And type of
 this field should be textSpell in your case. You can use above config.

 
  In the past we use to query twice to get first the
  suggestions and then we
  use to query using the first suggestion to show the data.
 
  Is there a way that we can do it in one step?

 Are you talking about queries that return 0 numFound? Re-executing the
 search like, described here

 Not out-of-the-box.

Yes, it does exactly about what you describe.

You can't do that in one step with out-of-the-box solr. You need a plugin for 
that.

 parameter should be text type.
 (title subtitle authordesc shortdesc imprint category isbn13 isbn10 format

 If you have common fields, for example category, you need two copy of that.
 one string one text. So that you can both full-text search and facet on.
 Use copy field for this.

 copyField source=category dest=category_string/

 Example document:

 query electronic will return it, and facets on category_string will be

 not :

 Yes, you need to edit it. At least field names. Does your schema has a
 field named sku?

  2. Do we need make DisMax as a default request
  handler?  Do I need to add
  attribute default=true to the tag?

 If you are going to always use it, why not, change it by adding
 default=true. By doing so you need to add qt parameter in every request.
 But don't forget to delete other default=true. There can be only one
 default=true :)

  3. I read in the documentation that Default Search Handler
  and DisMax are the same except that to use DisMaxQueryParser add
  defType=dismax in the query string. Is there anything else do we need to

 2. How to use spell checker request handler along with
 dismax?

Just append this at the end of dismax request handler definition:

arr name=last-components
   strspellcheck/str
/arr

/requestHandler


  


Dismax - Boosting

2010-11-15 Thread Solr User
Hi,

Currently we are using StandardRequestHandler and the configuration in
SolrConfig.xml is as below:

  requestHandler name=standard class=solr.SearchHandler default=true
!-- default values for query parameters --
 lst name=defaults
   str name=echoParamsexplicit/str
   !--
   int name=rows10/int
   str name=fl*/str
   str name=version2.1/str
--
 /lst
  /requestHandler


We would like to switch to DisMax request handler and the configuration in
SolrConfig.xml is:

  requestHandler name=dismax class=solr.SearchHandler 
lst name=defaults
 str name=defTypedismax/str
 str name=echoParamsexplicit/str
 float name=tie0.01/float
 str name=qf

 str name=f.name.hl.alternateFieldname/str
 str name=f.text.hl.fragmenterregex/str !-- defined below --

Questions:

1. Do we need to change the above DisMax handler configuration as per our
requirements? Or Leave it as it is? What changes?
2. Do we need make DisMax as a default request handler?  Do I need to add
attribute default=true to the tag?
3. I read in the documentation that Default Search Handler and DisMax are
the same except that to use DisMaxQueryParser add defType=dismax in the
query string. Is there anything else do we need to do?

We are basically moving on to dismax handler and trying to understand what
changes we need to make to SolrConfig.xml. I understood what changes need to
be made to schema.xml in a different thread on this forum.

Thanks,
Solr User

 1. Do we need to change the above DisMax handler
 configuration as per our

Yes, you need to edit it. At least field names. Does your schema has a field 
named sku?

 2. Do we need make DisMax as a default request
 handler?  Do I need to add
 attribute default=true to the tag?

If you are going to always use it, why not, change it by adding default=true. 
By doing so you need to add qt parameter in every request. But don't forget to 
delete other default=true. There can be only one default=true :)

 3. I read in the documentation that Default Search Handler
 and DisMax are the same except that to use DisMaxQueryParser add
 defType=dismax in the query string. Is there anything else do we need to  do?

Above dismax config contains default parameter list. So you don't need to add 
defType=dismaxqf=title^1.0 text^1.5 ... etc. to the query string.


 We are basically moving on to dismax handler and trying to
 understand what
 changes we need to make to SolrConfig.xml. 

As you can see in default solrconfig.xml, you can register multiple instances 
of solr.SearchHandler with different default parameter list and name. 
default=true one is executed by default. 

And this can be helpful deciding about dismax params: qf,pf,ps,ps,mm etc
