hello all, i just want to check to make sure i have this right.
i was reading on this page: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtendedDisMax, thanks to shawn for educating me. *i want the user to be able to fire a requestHandler but search across multiple fields (itemNo, productType and brand) WITHOUT them having to specify in the query url what fields they want / need to search on* this is what i have in my request handler <requestHandler name="partItemNoSearch" class="solr.SearchHandler" default="false"> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="defType">edismax</str> <str name="echoParams">all</str> <int name="rows">5</int> *<str name="qf">itemNo^1.0 productType^.8 brand^.5</str>* <str name="q.alt">*:*</str> </lst> <lst name="appends"> <str name="sort">rankNo asc, score desc</str> </lst> <lst name="invariants"> <str name="facet">false</str> </lst> </requestHandler> this would be an example of a single term search going against all three of the fields http://bogus:bogus/somecore/select?qt=partItemNoSearch&q=*dishwasher*&debugQuery=on&rows=100 this would be an example of a multiple term search across all three of the fields http://bogus:bogus/somecore/select?qt=partItemNoSearch&q=*dishwasher 123-xyz*&debugQuery=on&rows=100 do i understand this correctly? thank you, mark -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/searching-across-multiple-fields-using-edismax-am-i-setting-this-up-right-tp3906334p3906334.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
