Solr query with mandatory values

2012-05-09 Thread G.Long

Hi :)

I remember that in a Lucene query, there is something like mandatory 
values. I just have to add a + symbol in front of the mandatory 
parameter, like: +myField:my value


I was wondering if there was something similar in Solr queries? Or is 
this behaviour activated by default?

Yes.  

See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrQuerySyntax  - The standard Solr Query 
Parser syntax is a superset of the Lucene Query Parser syntax.
Which links to http://lucene.apache.org/core/3_6_0/queryparsersyntax.html 

Note - Based on the info on these pages I believe the + symbol is to be 
placed just before the mandatory value, not before the field name in the query.

+ before term is correct. in lucene term includes field and value.

Query  ::= ( Clause )*

Clause ::= [+, -] [TERM :] ( TERM | ( Query ) )

#_TERM_CHAR: ( _TERM_START_CHAR | _ESCAPED_CHAR | - | + ) 

#_ESCAPED_CHAR: \\ ~[] 


in lucene query syntax, you can't express a term value including space.
you can use quotation mark but lucene will take it as a phrase query.
so you need escape space like title:hello\\ world
which will take hello world as a field value. and the analyzer then
will tokenize it. so you should use analyzer which can deal with
space. e.g. you can use keyword analyzer

as far as I know
