: Does anybody have any further suggestions on what I might try in this : situation? Any tools perhaps that might help me put my finger on Solr's : pulse so I can figure out just what's going on in there at index and query : time?
1) FYI: you don't always need the settings on every filter to be the same ... WordDelimiterFilterFactory is a particular example where it frequently makes sense for hte settings to be different 2) to answer a question earlier in this thread: when using the analysis tool, it only shows you how the text would be analyzed -- it doesn't do a full query parse. so if you are doing phrase queries like myfield:"aa bbb ccc ddd" then you would paste this into the query section... aa bbb ccc ddd 3) i think all of the WDF discussion is a red herring ... looking back at the pastebin from your first email showing the document you expected to match the literal values stored in the dc_subjects field for that doc ends in a period (ie: ".") ... but in your discussion of debugQuery and analysis.jsp you never used a "." character at index or query time. My guess is it's in the indexed value, but not in the query value -- i could be wrong, i didn't load your schema to test whether WDF does something helpful with that trailing period -- but the first place to start doing debuging is to use the *exact* value (with period) in the index section of analysis.jsp. -Hoss
