Subject: Not finding part of fulltext field when word ends in dot
Hello everybody,
we have a legacy solr installation in version 3.6.0.1. One of the indices
defines a field named "content" as a fulltext field where a product
description will reside. One of the records indexed contains the following
data (excerpt):
z. B. in der Serie 26KA.
I had the problem that searching the value "26KA" didn't find anything.
Using the analyzer of the adminstrative interface and using the full text
on one hand and "26KA" as the query string, I can see how the search string
is transformed by the used filter factories. The WordDelimiterFilterFactory
transforms the "26KA." into "26KA", which is displayed like this (excerpt):
73 74 75 76
in der Serie 26KA.
26KA
It seems that it stripped the "26KA." of the dot. Using the option to
highlight matches, an analysis search of "26KA" shows the lower of the two
entries matches (after reaching the LowerCaseFilterFactory). However,
querying the index using the query interface doesn't show any matches.
I discovered that adding an asterisk to the search seems to work, as does
adding the dot. I am puzzled by this, as I thought that the second added
entry was the word actually indexed. I've tried looking up the definition
of the administrative interface, but the documentation only specifies this
for the latest version, where the display is different and (at least in the
sample) doesn't show such "duplication".
Can anybody shed some light onto this?
