You should not need to use wildcards. Most configurations of Solr will index space-separated words as separate tokens. They can be matched separately.
DId you use a string field type (probably the wrong choice)? How are your fields tokenized? Solr/Lucene query syntax: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrQuerySyntax http://lucene.apache.org/core/3_6_0/queryparsersyntax.html The analysis page in the admin UI is your friend here. You can put in text for the index and the query, choose a field type, and see how it is tokenized and matched. wunder On Jan 15, 2013, at 6:14 AM, eShard wrote: > Does anyone have a great tutorial for learning the solr query language, > dismax and edismax? > I've searched endlessly for one but I haven't been able to locate one that > is comprehensive enough and has a lot of examples (that actually work!). > I also tried to use wildcards, logical operators, and a phrase search and it > either didn't work or behave the way I thought it would. > > for example, I tried to search a multivalued field solr.title and a content > field that contains their phone number (and a lot of other data) > so, from the solr admin query page; > in the q field i tried lots of variations of this-> solr.title:*Costa, > Julie* AND content:tel= > And I either got 0 results or ALL the results. > solr.title would only work if I put in solr.title:*Costa* but not anything > longer than that.
