hello, thank you for the reply.
yes - i did re-index after the changes to the schema. also - thank you for the direction on using the analyzer - but i am not sure if i am interpreting the feedback from the analyzer correctly. here is what i did: in the Field value (Index) box - i placed this: BP2.1UAA in the Field value (Query) box - i placed this: BP21UAA then after hitting the Analyze button - i see the following: Under Index Analyzer for: org.apache.solr.analysis.WordDelimiterFilterFactory {splitOnCaseChange=1, generateNumberParts=1, catenateWords=1, luceneMatchVersion=LUCENE_33, generateWordParts=1, catenateAll=1, catenateNumbers=1} i see position 1 2 3 4 term text BP 2 1 UAA 21 BP21UAA Under Query Analyzer for: org.apache.solr.analysis.WordDelimiterFilterFactory {splitOnCaseChange=1, generateNumberParts=1, catenateWords=1, luceneMatchVersion=LUCENE_33, generateWordParts=1, catenateAll=1, catenateNumbers=1} i see position 1 2 3 term text BP 21 UAA BP21UAA the above information leads me to believe that i "should" have BP21UAA as an indexed term generated from the BP2.1UAA value coming from the database. also - the query analysis lead me to believe that i "should" find a document when i search on BP21UAA in the itemNo field do i have this correct???? am i missing something here? i am still unable to get a hit when i search on BP21UAA in the itemNo field. thank you, mark -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/struggling-with-solr-WordDelimiterFilterFactory-and-periods-or-dots-tp3724822p3726021.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
