Hi, The query is generated dynamically and can be more or less complex depending on different parameters. I'm also not free to give many details of our implementation, but I'll give you the minimal query string that fails and the relevant pieces of the config. The query string is:
/select?q=+id:12345^0.000001 +_query_:"{!boost b=$dateboost v=$qq deftype=dismax}"&dateboost=recip(ms(NOW/DAY,published_date),3.16e-11,1,1)&qq=user_text&qf=text1^2 text2&pf=text1^2 text2&tie=0.1&q.alt=*:*&hl=true&hl.fl=text1 text2&hl.mergeContiguous=true where id is an int and text1 and text2 are type text. hl.fl has proven to be necessary whenever I use dismax in an inner query. Ohterwise, only text2 (the default field) is highlighted, and not both fields appearing in qf. For example, q={!dismax v=$qq}&....... does not require hl.fl to highlight both text1 and text2. q=+_query_:"{!dismax v=$qq}"&....... only highlights text2, unless I specify hl.fl. The given query is probably not minimal in the sense that some of the dismax-related parameters can be omitted and the query still fails. But the one given always fails (and adding more complexity to it does not make it work, quite obviously). Unfortunately, hl.requireFieldMatch=false does not help. Request handler config is the following: <requestHandler name="standard" class="solr.SearchHandler" default="true"> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="echoParams">explicit</str> </lst> </requestHandler> Highlighter config is the following: <highlighting> <fragmenter name="gap" class="org.apache.solr.highlight.GapFragmenter" default="true"> <lst name="defaults"> <int name="hl.fragsize">100</int> </lst> </fragmenter> <fragmenter name="regex" class="org.apache.solr.highlight.RegexFragmenter"> <lst name="defaults"> <int name="hl.fragsize">70</int> <float name="hl.regex.slop">0.5</float> <str name="hl.regex.pattern">[-\w ,/\n\"']{20,200}</str> </lst> </fragmenter> <formatter name="html" class="org.apache.solr.highlight.HtmlFormatter" default="true"> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="hl.simple.pre"><em></str> <str name="hl.simple.post"></em></str> </lst> </formatter> </highlighting> If there's any other information that could be useful, just ask.
