Fetching document by comparing date to today date
Hello i have come across many threads where people have asked how to fetch doc based on date comparison, my problem is pretty much on the same line. based on todays date i want to fetch documents which are live For example i have three doc below doc1 liveDate=1-MAR-2014 doc2 liveDate=1-APR-2014 doc3 liveDate=1-MAY-2014 i want to select only one doc based on todays date, hence if today is 14-APR and if i run query liveDate:[* TO 14-APR-2014] its getting two doc i want to get only the latest one which is doc2. Is there out of the box method which can solve my issue. In order to fix this issue i proposed to have doc liveStartDate and liveEndDate doc1 liveStartDate=1-MAR-2014 liveEndDate=31-MAR-2014 doc2 liveStartDate=1-APR-2014 liveEndDate=31-APR-2014 doc2 liveStartDate=1-MAY-2014 liveEndDate=31-MAY-2014 Hence if today is 14-APR-2014 can i run a query where i can give a condition something like currentDateliveStartDate AND currentDateliveEndDate can someone please let me know how to do this kind of date comparison. thanks darniz -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Fetching-document-by-comparing-date-to-today-date-tp4130802.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Fetching document by comparing date to today date
Date math lets you add and subtract offsets in various date and time units and truncate to a specified unit as well. For example: q=someDateField:[NOW/DAY TO NOW+1DAY/DAY} Note the use of } to exclude the end point of a range. Also, be careful to URL-encode the +, otherwise URL parsing will treat it as a space.

Re: Fetching document by comparing date to today date
Thanks for the quick answer i was able to solve my problem with the addition of two new fields and if todays date is april14 my query is (liveStartDate:[* TO 2014-04-14T00:00:00Z] AND liveEndDate:[2014-04-14T00:00:00Z TO *]) and its fetches me the correct document guess my initial question does solr provide out of the box functionality if i have the below three documents set, how can i get only doc2 if i assume todays date is 14-APRIL-2014 for simplicity i gave the liveDate as dates beginning at the start of each month but in real life these dates can be anything. doc1 liveDate=1-MAR-2014 doc2 liveDate=1-APR-2014 doc3 liveDate=1-MAY-2014 -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Fetching-document-by-comparing-date-to-today-date-tp4130802p4130807.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi Darniz; Why don't you filter your documents that has a date until TODAY and then sort them by date and finally get only 1 document with rows=1 ?

Re: Fetching document by comparing date to today date
You haven't told us under what criteria you would exclude the March document. Do you want only docs that are in the current month? If so, date:[NOW/MONTH TO NOW/MONTH+1MONTH] should do it.
