Hi All I have a following field settings in solr schema
<field name="<b>Exact_Word" omitPositions="true" termVectors="false" omitTermFreqAndPositions="true" compressed="true" type="string_ci" multiValued="false" indexed="true" stored="true" required="false" omitNorms="true"/> <field name="Word" compressed="true" type="email_text_ptn" multiValued="false" indexed="true" stored="true" required="false" omitNorms="true"/> <fieldtype name="string_ci" class="solr.TextField" sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true"><analyzer><tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/><filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/></analyzer></fieldtype> <copyField source="Word" dest="Exact_Word"/> As you can see Exact_Word has the KeywordTokenizerFactory and that should treat the string as it is. Following is my responseHeader. As you can see I am searching my string only in the filed Exact_Word and expecting it to return the Word field and the score "responseHeader":{ "status":0, "QTime":14, "params":{ "explainOther":"", "fl":"Word,score", "debugQuery":"on", "indent":"on", "start":"0", "q":"d!sdasdsdwasd!a...@dsadsadas.edu", "qf":"Exact_Word", "wt":"json", "fq":"", "version":"2.2", "rows":"10"}}, But when I enter email with the following string "d!sdasdsdwasd...@dsadsadas.edu" it splits the string to two. I was under the impression that KeywordTokenizerFactory will treat the string as it is. Following is the query debug result. There you can see it has split the word "parsedquery":"+((DisjunctionMaxQuery((Exact_Word:d)) -DisjunctionMaxQuery((Exact_Word:sdasdsdwasd...@dsadsadas.edu)))~1)", can someone please tell why it produce the query result as this If I put a string without the "!" sign as below, the produced query will be as below "parsedquery":"+DisjunctionMaxQuery((Exact_Word:d_sdasdsdwasd_...@dsadsadas.edu))",. This is what I expected solr to even with the "!" mark. with "_" mark it wont do a string split and treats the string as it is I thought if the KeywordTokenizerFactory is applied then it should return the exact string as it is Please help me to understand what is going wrong here -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Help-to-Understand-a-Solr-Query-tp4134686p4135464.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
