Fuzzy search with DisMax request handler
----------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-629
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-629
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.3
            Reporter: Guillaume Smet
            Priority: Minor


The DisMax search handler doesn't support fuzzy queries which would be quite 
useful for our usage of Solr and from what I've seen on the list, it's 
something several people would like to have.

Following this discussion 
http://markmail.org/message/tx6kqr7ga6ponefa#query:solr%20dismax%20fuzzy+page:1+mid:c4pciq6rlr4dwtgm+state:results
 , I added the ability to add fuzzy query field in the qf parameter. I kept the 
patch as conservative as possible.

The syntax supported is: fieldOne^2.3 fieldTwo~0.3 fieldThree~0.2^-0.4 
fieldFour as discussed in the above thread.

The recursive query aliasing should work even with fuzzy query fields using a 
very simple rule: the aliased fields inherit the minSimilarity of their parent, 
combined with their own one if they have one.

Only the qf parameter support this syntax atm. I suppose we should make it 
usable in pf too. Any opinion?

Comments are very welcome, I'll spend the time needed to put this patch in good 
shape.

Thanks.
