Hmm, you should first read a bit more on schema design on the wiki and learn about indexing and querying Solr.
The copyField directive is what is commonly used in a faceted navigation system, search on analyzed fields, show faceting results using the primitive string field type. With copyField, you can, well, copy the field from one to another without it being analyzed by the first - so no chaining is possible, which is good. Let's say you have a city field you want to navigate with, but also search in, then you would have an analyzed field for search and a string field for displaying the navigation. But, check the wiki on this subject. -----Original message----- From: PeterKerk <vettepa...@hotmail.com> Sent: Wed 04-08-2010 22:23 To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org; Subject: RE: Indexing fieldvalues with dashes and spaces Sorry, but Im a newbie to Solr...how would I change my schema.xml to match your requirements?
