Hi all sorry for the long post
We are switching from indexdata's zebra to solr for a new book archival/preservation project with multiple languages, so expect more questions soon (sorry for that) The features of solr are pretty cool and more or less overwhelming! But there is one thing I found after a little test with wildcards. I'm using the latest svn build and didn't change anything except the schema.xml Solr Specification Version: 1.3.0.2009.08.20.07.53.52 Solr Implementation Version: 1.4-dev 806060 - ait015 - 2009-08-20 07:53:52 Lucene Specification Version: 2.9-dev Lucene Implementation Version: 2.9-dev 804692 - 2009-08-16 09:33:41 I have a text_ws field with this schema config: <fieldType name="text_ws" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer> <charFilter class="solr.MappingCharFilterFactory" mapping="mapping-ISOLatin1Accent.txt"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> ... and I added a dynamic field for everything since I'm not sure what field we will use... <dynamicField name="*" type="text_ws" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/> ... So I <add>ed this content: ... <field name="PhysicalDescription"> X, 143, XIV S.: 124 feine Farbendrucktafeln mit über 600 Abbildungen; 24,5 cm. </field> ... since it's German, and I couldn't find a tokenizer for German compound words (any help appreciated) I wanted to search for 'Farb*' The final row of the query analyzer in the admin section told me: farb* for the content: x, 143, xiv s.: 124 feine farbendrucktafeln mit uber 600 abbildungen; 24,5 cm. so everything seems to be ok, everything in lower case Now, for the rest service: http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=PhysicalDescription:Farb*&debugQuery=true <str name="rawquerystring">PhysicalDescription:Farb*</str> <str name="querystring">PhysicalDescription:Farb*</str> <str name="parsedquery">PhysicalDescription:Farb*</str> <str name="parsedquery_toString">PhysicalDescription:Farb*</str> Since Farb* has a capital letter, nothing is found. When using farb* as query, I get the result. Where can I add/change a query anaylizer that "lower cases" wildcard searches? thanks, best wishes, Alexander
