Search additional fields when using DisMaxRequestHandler
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-405
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-405
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: search
Reporter: Doug Steigerwald
We are heavily leaning towards using a few DisMaxRequestHandlers for searching
instead of copy fields, but we ran into an issue. Currently our sites use
something like a copy field to search stories, but they also need to search
additional fields (like story_source, which we don't want in the dismax). With
the DisMaxRequestHandler as it is, anything you have in the q param is searched
for in the fields defined in the DisMaxRequestHandler. We need a little more
flexibility with this.
As an example, if you search for something like
"bush+AND+story_source:associated", all the fields in the dismax are searched
for 'bush' and 'story_source:associated'. (The story_source field is not in the
dismax handler, and we don't want it to be.) What we want to do is search the
fields defined in the dismax for 'bush', but also query the story_source field
(and only the story_source field) for 'associated'.
We came up with this small patch to let us do what we need, but wanted to throw
it out there in case others were interested, or know of a better way to do
this. We're not entirely sure we did this in the right place and are hoping
that maybe someone can provide some insight on that as well.
