How to search in Clusterpoint DB for full text match only? - database

I am executing Search query
<query>
<edu>college</edu>
<studies>mathematics</studies>
</query>
The result is returned even for documents where values for <studies> is “mathematics and statistics”, “geometry in mathematics” etc. But my purpose is to get documents where in tag <studies> is value “mathematics” and nothing else.
Is there a possibility to search by exact text value?

For this purpose you should use exact-match operator ==”” and rule "exact-match=binary" for appropriate tag in policy configuration. Your query could look like:
<query>
<team>college</team>
<studies>=="mathematics"</studies>
</query>
This will return results where "studies" tag contains only "mathematics" as value and no other words.

Check out their docs. Exact match clause should be the one (I believe): http://docs.clusterpoint.com/wiki/Search_query_syntax#Exact_match

Synonyms in Solr Query Results

Whenever I query a string in solr, i want to get the synonyms of field value if there exists any as a part of query result, is it possible to do that in solr
There is no direct way to fetch the synonyms used in the search results. You can get close by looking at how Solr parsed your query via the debugQuery=true parameter and looking at the parsedQuery value in the response but it would not be straightforward. For example, if you search for "tv" on a text field that uses synonyms you will get something like this:
$ curl "localhost:8983/solr/your-core/select?q=tv&debugQuery=true"
{
...
"parsedquery":"SynonymQuery(Synonym(_text_:television _text_:televisions _text_:tv _text_:tvs))",
...
Another approach would be to load in your application the synonyms.txt file that Solr uses and do the mapping yourself. Again, not straightforward,

Why does Dismax not work in simple query?

All:
I am pretty new to SOLR, I upload some documents which have "season" in content field(store but not indexed, copy to text field) and in title field(store and indexed copy to text field)
When I use basic query without dismax like:
http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=season&rows=5&wt=json&indent=true
It works very well and return correct results, but when I want to boost those documents which have more "season" in content rather than title, I used dismax like(I guess the way I use it is totally, cos the content is not indexed, but I at least expect certain return result even incorrect ):
http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=season&rows=5&wt=json&indent=true&defType=dismax&qf=content%5E100+title%5E1
There is no match result returned, I wonder if anyone could help me with this? Or could anyone show me how to use dismax correctly
Thanks
In your second query you specify the "content" field as the one and only query field but earlier you write that this field is stored but not indexed. If a field is not indexed you can not search against it.
I faced the same problem. Tracked it down to the schema definition where for dismax to work, field type should be text and not string
for e.g text_general,text_en_splitting,text_en
Its because of the tokenizers used for this field types.

/select with 'q' parameter does not work

Whenever i query with q=: it shows all the documents but when i query with q=programmer 0 docs found.(contents is the default search field)
my schema has: id(unique),author,title,contents fields
Also query works fine for:
q=author:"Value" or q=title:"my book" etc, only for contents field no results.
Also when i query using spell checker(/spell?q=programmer) output shows spelling suggestions for this word,when 'programmer' is the right word and present in many documents.
I referred the example docs for configurations.
All of a sudden i am getting this,initially it worked fine.
I guess there some problem only in the contents field,but cannot figure it out.
Is it because indexes are not created properly for contents field?
(I am using solr 4.2 on Windows 7 with tomcat as webserver)
Please help.Thanks a lot in advance.
Are you sure you set the default search field? The reason you have this problem might be because you didn't set the <defaultSearchField> field in your schema.xml file. This is why "q=author:value" works while q=WHATEVER doesn't.
The Is used by Solr when parsing queries to
identify which field name should be searched in queries where an
explicit field name has not been used.
But also consider this:
The is used by Solr when parsing queries to
identify which field name should be searched in queries where an
explicit field name has not been used. It is preferable to not use or
rely on this setting; instead the request handler or query LocalParams
for a search should specify the default field(s) to search on. This
setting here can be omitted and it is being considered for
deprecation.
Do you have any data in your instance. try q=*:* and see what it returns. "for" is a stop word, may be it was filtered out. Look for something else as value to test.

Salesforce SOSL: matching fields exactly

Afternoon All.
I am using a simple SOSL query like this
find {"2099"} in phone fields
and it is returning objects that match 12320995, as an example. Is there a way to set up the query to only return exact matches?
See http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/langCon_apex_SOQL.htm
Which has the example
List> searchList = [FIND 'map*' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account (id, name), Contact, Opportunity, Lead];
In your case, specify the objects you want to return.
Specify the fields you want to search in.
According to the documentation, "Use quotation marks around search terms to find an exact phrase match."
The " " operator should return exact matches. I haven't tested it but if it does not work it could be a bug. One suggestion is that you scan through the results with your own code and filter out the exact matches.

Solr Index appears to be valid - but returns no results

Solr newbie here.
I have created a Solr index and write a whole bunch of docs into it. I can see
from the Solr admin page that the docs exist and the schema is fine as well.
But when I perform a search using a test keyword I do not get any results back.
On entering * : *
into the query (in Solr admin page) I get all the results.
However, when I enter any other query (e.g. a term or phrase) I get no results.
I have verified that the field being queried is Indexed and contains the values I am searching for.
So I am confused what I am doing wrong.
Probably you don't have a <defaultSearchField> correctly set up. See this question.
Another possibility: your field is of type string instead of text. String fields, in contrast to text fields, are not analyzed, but stored and indexed verbatim.
I had the same issue with a new setup of Solr 8. The accepted answer is not valid anymore, because the <defaultSearchField> configuration will be deprecated.
As I found no answer to why Solr does not return results from any fields despite being indexed, I consulted the query documentation. What I found is the DisMax query parser:
The DisMax query parser is designed to process simple phrases (without complex syntax) entered by users and to search for individual terms across several fields using different weighting (boosts) based on the significance of each field. Additional options enable users to influence the score based on rules specific to each use case (independent of user input).
In contrast, the default Lucene parser only speaks about searching one field. So I gave DisMax a try and it worked very well!
Query example:
http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/select?defType=dismax&q=video
You can also specify which fields to search exactly to prevent unwanted side effects. Multiple fields are separated by spaces which translate to + in URLs:
http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/select?defType=dismax&q=video&qf=features+text
Last but not least, give the fields a weight:
http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/select?defType=dismax&q=video&qf=features^20.0+text^0.3
If you are using pysolr like I do, you can add those parameters to your search request like this:
results = solr.search('search term', **{
'defType': 'dismax',
'qf': 'features text'
})
In my case the problem was the format of the query. It seems that my setup, by default, was looking and an exact match to the entire value of the field. So, in order to get results if I was searching for the sit I had to query *sit*, i.e. use wildcards to get the expected result.
With solr 4, I had to solve this as per Mauricio's answer by defining type="text_en" to the field.
With solr 6, use text_general.
