Interesting idea ... that's really a seperate idea from "Phonetic" search right? ... fuzzy searching (ala: FuzzyQuery) is really a seperate beast from phonetics (which i assume would best be implimented using your second idea of a new TokenFilter) I'm all in favor of both ideas ... but i wonder if adding fuzzy support to dismax would be better done with a new param similar to "pf" (ie "ff" for fuzzy fields and "fslop" for the min similaity) : Still, it seems like others might want to use a phonetic token : filter with the <filter> specs. I'd be glad to contribute that, : if others think it would be useful. yeah .. you may want to just write a generic Lucene TokenFilter that does the phonetics, submit it as a page to Lucene-Java and then it's triial to whip up a TokenFilterFactory to use it in Solr. -Hoss
