I am running into a somewhat similar issue with Synonyms. I'm trying to
create a synonym filter for common first names (ie: chuck,charles,charlie).
Here is a snippet from my schema.xml:
<fieldtype name="firstname" class="solr.StrField">
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory"
synonyms="/srv/solr/solr/conf/firstname_synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true"
expand="true"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldtype>
...
<field name="firstname_fuzzy_s" type="firstname" indexed="true"
stored="false" omitNorms="true"/>
Here's a piece of my synonyms file:
Abraham,Abe,Abram,Bram
Adaline,Ada,Adela,Aline,Edith
Adam,Ade,Edie
Now, when I use the Field Analyzer, everything works as expected. There is
a match from the index value of "Abraham" and the query value of "abe".
However, when I try it in a query I get 0 results. Even when I query for
"abraham" I get 0 results even though there are many Abrahams indexed. If I
query for names that do not have synonyms, I get results. It seems that the
synonym filter is breaking my queries.
I'm starting to think there's something obvious I'm not doing wrong.
Thanks,
ben
