timeAllowed query parameter not working?

[Mario-Leander Reimer]

Hi Solr users,



currently I have some really long running user entered pure wildcards
queries (like *??) , these are hogging the CPU for several minutes.



So what I tried is setting the "timeAllowed" query parameter via the search
handler in solrconfig.xml. But without any luck, the parameter does not
seem tob e working. Here is my search handler definition:



<requestHandler name="/select" class="solr.SearchHandler" default="true">

        <lst name="defaults">

            <int name="rows">10</int>

            <str name="df">TEXT</str>

            <int name="timeAllowed">10000</int>

        </lst>

</requestHandler>



Thanks for your help!

Leander
