I'm not sure what you mean. Based on what you are saying, is there an example of how I can setup my schema.xml to get the result I need?
Also, the way I execute a search is using http://localhost:8080/solr/select/?q=<search-term> Does your solution require me to change this? If so, in what way? It would be great if all this is documented somewhere, so I won't have to bug you guys !!! --MJ -----Original Message----- From: Jack Krupansky <j...@basetechnology.com> To: solr-user <solr-user@lucene.apache.org> Sent: Thu, Oct 24, 2013 9:39 am Subject: Re: Searching on special characters Have two or three copies of the text, one field could be raw string and boosted heavily for exact match, a second could be text using the keyword tokenizer but with lowercase filter also heavily boosted, and the third field general, tokenized text with a lower boost. You could also have a copy that uses the keyword tokenizer to maintain a single token but also applies a regex filter to strip special characters and applies a lower case filter and give that an intermediate boost. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: johnmu...@aol.com Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2013 9:20 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Searching on special characters Hi, How should I setup Solr so I can search and get hit on special characters such as: + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \ My need is, if a user has text like so: Doc-#1: "(Solr)" Doc-#2: "Solr" And they type "(solr)" I want a hit on "(solr)" only in document #1, with the brackets matching. And if they type "solr", they will get a hit in Document #2 only. An additional nice-to-have is, if they type "solr", I want a hit in both document #1 and #2. Here is what my current schema.xml looks like: <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="lang/stopwords_en.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="1" splitOnCaseChange="0" splitOnNumerics="1" stemEnglishPossessive="1" preserveOriginal="1"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.KeywordMarkerFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.PorterStemFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> Currently, special characters are being stripped. Any idea how I can configure Solr to do this? I'm using Solr 3.6. Thanks !! -MJ
