hello, >> Or does your field in schema.xml have anything like autoGeneratePhraseQueries="true" in it? <<
there is no reference to this in our production schema. this is extremely confusing. i am not completely clear on the issue? reviewing our previous messages - it looks like the data is being tokenized correctly according to the analysis page and output from Luke. it also looks like the definition of the field and field type is correct in the schema.xml it also looks like there is no errant data (quotes) being introduced in to the query string submitted to solr: example: *http://hfsthssolr1.intra.searshc.com:8180/solrpartscat/core1/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=itemNo%3ABP21UAA&fq=&start=0&rows=10&fl=*%2Cscore&qt=&wt=&debugQuery=on&explainOther=&hl.fl=* *so - does the real issue reside in HOW the query is being contructed / parsed ??? and if so - what drives this query to become a MultiPhraseQuery with embedded quotes ???? * <lst name="debug"><str name="rawquerystring">itemNo:BP21UAA </str><str name="querystring">itemNo:BP21UAA </str><str name="parsedquery">MultiPhraseQuery(itemNo:"bp 21 (uaa bp21uaa)")</str><str name="parsedquery_toString">itemNo:"bp 21 (uaa bp21uaa)"</str> please note - i also mocked up a simple test on my personal linux box - just using the solr 3.5 distro (we are using 3.3.0 on our production box under centOS) i was able to get a simple test to work and yes - my query does look different output from my simple mock up on my personal box: *http://localhost:8983/solr/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=manu%3ABP21UAA&fq=&start=0&rows=10&fl=*%2Cscore&qt=&wt=&debugQuery=on&explainOther=&hl.fl=* <lst name="debug"><str name="rawquerystring">manu:BP21UAA</str><str name="querystring">manu:BP21UAA</str><str name="parsedquery">manu:bp manu:21 manu:uaa manu:bp21uaa</str><str name="parsedquery_toString">manu:bp manu:21 manu:uaa manu:bp21uaa</str><lst name="explain"> schema.xml <fieldType name="text_en_splitting" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"><analyzer type="index"><tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/><filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords_en.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true"/><filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="1" splitOnCaseChange="1"/><filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/><filter class="solr.KeywordMarkerFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/><filter class="solr.PorterStemFilterFactory"/></analyzer><analyzer type="query"><tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/><filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/><filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords_en.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true"/><filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="1" splitOnCaseChange="1"/><filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/><filter class="solr.KeywordMarkerFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/><filter class="solr.PorterStemFilterFactory"/></analyzer></fieldType> <field name="manu" type="text_en_splitting" indexed="true" stored="true" omitNorms="true"/> any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. mark -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/struggling-with-solr-WordDelimiterFilterFactory-and-periods-or-dots-tp3724822p3733486.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
