All:
I am new to Solr, when I play with solr example with importing some random document, I use a search query in q like:
fund+report
There is no space between fund and +, and I thought it will search a word "fund+report" in the document, which rarely happen in document, but a lot results return, thequery url is:
http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=fund%2Breport&fl=id+filename+%5Bexplain%5D&wt=xml&indent=true
I thought Solr treat my query just like:
fund report
or
fund OR report
Could anyone tell me why solr treat my query like that? And how can I make solr treat fund+report as a single word?
Thanks
The HTTP call will simply translate the + to a space . If you need an actual + sign then you need to use the URL-encoded value for + (which I think is %2B). If you are looking for the phrase fund report then you want to put double quotes around the phrase, e.g., "fund report". These should also be URL-encoded (I think the value for that is %22).
Keep in mind that if you're using stemming then a search for "fund report" will find results for "funds reports", "funding reports", etc. But maybe that is what you want.
So after all is said and done, your URL might look like the following:
http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=%22fund%20report%22&fl=id,filename,%5Bexplain%5D&wt=xml&indent=true
Note that the fields listed for the fl parameter should be comma-delimited. I am not sure why you have the square brackets around the explain field.

I want to search products in the document with whitespaces and without whitespaces like "base ball", "baseball"
if someone searches for "baseball" the result should fetch the records of "baseball" & "base ball"
I am not able to that, also i do not want to use "synonyms" for that.
I have used filter class "WordDelimiterFilterFactory" to get that results i use keywords like sunglass for sun glass, keychain for key chain in synonyms files.
but there will be much more words like this so it's been difficult to find such words whose meaning is same even after split.
so I am looking for the solution where I don't have to use synonyms to get the desired result
I've tried by setting catenateWords='1' to get that result but it also did not match the result.
This is not possible without adding the synonyms. You should add the base ball as a synonyms to baseball.
The WordDelimiterFilterFactory is depricated.
Even if you use WordDelimiterGraphFilterFactory its not possible.
generateWordParts : It spilts the words at camelcase like BaseBall...but its not the case for you.
catenateWords : It also wont work in your case as your word is not having any special char or hyphen separated to join. e.g wi-fi will get wifi.
So either you data should have the separate words to be indexed. It means if you dont want to use synonyms then you have to push baseball and base ball for indexing then only you will be able perform search on these words.
How to perform a simple query on a text field with an OR condition? Something like name:ABC OR name:XYZ so the resulting set would contain only those docs where name is exactly "XYZ" or "ABC"
Dug tons of manuals, cannot figure this out.
I use Solr 5.5.0
Update: Upgraded to Solr 6.6.0, still cannot figure it out. Below are illustrations to demonstrate my issue:
This works:
This works too:
This still works:
But this does not! Omg why!?
There are many ways to perform OR query. Below I have listed some of them. You can select any of it.
[Simple Query]
q=name:(XYZ OR ABC)
[Lucene Query Parser]
q={!lucene q.op=OR df=name v="XYZ ABC"}
Your syntax is right, but what you're asking for isn't what text fields are made for. A text field is tokenized (split into multiple tokens), and each token is searched by itself. So if the text inserted is "ABC DEF GHI", it will be split into three separate tokens, namely "ABC", "DEF" and "GHI". So when you're searching field:ABC, you're really asking for any document that has the token "ABC" somewhere.
Since you want to perform an exact match, you want to query against a field that is defined as a string field, as this will keep the value verbatim (including casing, so the matching will be case sensitive). You can tell Solr to index the same content into multiple fields by adding a copyFile instruction, telling it to take the content submitted for field foo and also copying it into field bar, allowing you to perform both an exact match if needed and a more general search if necessary.
If you need to perform exact, but case insensitive, searches, you can use a KeywordTokenizer - the KeywordTokenizer does nothing, keeping the whole string as a single token, before allowing you to add filters to the analysis chain. By adding a LowercaseFilter you tell Solr to lowercase the string as well before storing it (or querying for it).
You can use the "Analysis" page under the Solr admin page to experiment and see how content for your field is being processed for each step.
After that querying as string_field:ABC OR string_field:XYZ should do what you want (or string_field:(ABC OR XYZ) or a few other ways to express the same.
A wacky workaround I've just come up with:
The problem is this: I've got a column (named name)which consist of names for Example "Иван Кирилов Петров", "Нина Семова Мариножа" and so on.
So I want to make a query which will get all the names that has first name 'Иван' and last name 'Петров'; The second name doesn't matter so i will put * wildcard character.
Also there is a bigger problem: I should be able in a case if the user writes "Иван Кирилов Петров" to find this exact person
what I have tried :
I made the field text_ws type
and tested the following queries:
q=name:Иван*Петров
perfect - it finds what I want - all the names with first Иван and last Петров;
But then i want to find Иван Кирилов Петров i get no response because I want to make an exact search and my type should be string
How can I solve this!
Try adding autoGeneratePhraseQueries="true" flag on your text_ws type definition. And use debugQuery=true flag to see how it does the matches against the field. If the basic thing work, you can then look at pf3 flag in eDismax configuration to boost the query matches.
Solr also comes with dedicated Token Filters for Russian, but you probably don't care about that for the people's names.
I don't think you need a wild-card query. If you are only splitting on white-space during index time (text_ws) and you get complete first, last and/or middle names for query, you can do an AND query like
q=name:(Иван AND Петров)
or
q=name:(ИВАН AND МИНЧЕВ AND ПЕТРОВ)
Update: After your comment, I see that this will do a bag-of-words search and won't preserve the order. I guess you need to keep a string copy field of name, say name_str, which will give you more search options. For example, if there are 2 spaces in the query, meaning you get the first, middle and last names, then you can do an exact match on name_str like
q=name_str:"ИВАН%20МИНЧЕВ%20ПЕТРОВ"
If you are using Solr 4.0 and above, then regex query on the string field can help you. You can do
q=name_str:/ИВАН.*ПЕТРОВ/
will match anything that begins with ИВАН and ends with ПЕТРОВ.
or even
q=name_str:/Иван.*?Кирилов.*?Петров/
Unfortunately, there is no Solr wiki page on regex search yet, but you can google around.
You need to distinguish between the different types of queries you want to do and do different searches. Maybe give a check-box to your users asking if they want an exact match or not.
Imagine an index like the following:
id partno name description
1 1000.001 Apple iPod iPod by Apple
2 1000.123 Apple iPhone The iPhone
When the user searches for "Apple" both documents would be returned. Now I'd like to give the user the possibility to narrow down the results by limiting the search to one or more fields that have documents containing the term "Apple" within those fields.
So, ideally, the user would see something like this in the filter section of the ui after his first query:
Filter by field
name (2)
description (1)
When the user applies the filter for field "description", only documents which contain the term "Apple" within the field "description" would be returned. So the result set of that second request would be the iPod document only. For that I'd use a query like ?q=Apple&qf=description (I'm using the Extended DisMax Query Parser)
How can I accomplish that with Solr?
I already experimented with faceting, grouping and highlighting components, but did not really come to a decent solution to this.
[Update]
Just to make that clear again: The main problem here is to get the information needed for displaying the "Filter by field" section. This includes the names of the fields and the hits per field. Sending a second request with one of those filters applied already works.
Solr just plain Doesn't Do This. If you absolutely need it, I'd try it the multiple requests solution and benchmark it -- solr tends to be a lot faster than what people put in front of it, so an couple few requests might not be that big of a deal.
you could achieve this with two different search requests/queries:
name:apple -> 2 hits
description:apple -> 1 hit
EDIT:
You also could implement your own SearchComponent that executes multiple queries in the background and put it in the SearchHandler processing chain so you only will need a single query in the frontend.
if you want the term to be searched over the same fields every time, you have 2 options not breaking the "single query" requirement:
1) copyField: you group at index time all the fields that should match togheter. With just one copyfield your problem doesn't exist, if you need more than one, you're at the same spot.
2) you could filter the query each time dynamically adding the "fq" parameter at the end
http://<your_url_and_stuff>/?q=Apple&fq=name:Apple ...
this works if you'll be searching always on the same two fields (or you can setup them before querying) otherwise you'll always need at least a second query
Since i said "you have 2 options" but you actually have 3 (and i rushed my answer), here's the third:
3) the dismax plugin described by them like this:
The DisMaxQParserPlugin is designed to process simple user entered phrases
(without heavy syntax) and search for the individual words across several fields
using different weighting (boosts) based on the significance of each field.
so, if you can use it, you may want to give it a look and start from the qf parameters (that is what the option number 2 wanted to be about, but i changed it in favor of fq... don't ask me why...)
SolrFaceting should solve your problem.
Have a look at the Examples.
This can be achieved with Solr faceting, but it's not neat. For example, I can issue this query:
/select?q=*:*&rows=0&facet=true&facet.query=title:donkey&facet.query=text:donkey&wt=json
to find the number of documents containing donkey in the title and text fields. I may get this response:
{
"responseHeader":{"status":0,"QTime":1,"params":{"facet":"true","facet.query":["title:donkey","text:donkey"],"q":"*:*","wt":"json","rows":"0"}},
"response":{"numFound":3365840,"start":0,"docs":[]},
"facet_counts":{
"facet_queries":{
"title:donkey":127,
"text:donkey":4108
},
"facet_fields":{},
"facet_dates":{},
"facet_ranges":{}
}
}
Since you also want the documents back for the field-disjunctive query, something like the following works:
/select?q=donkey&defType=edismax&qf=text+titlle&rows=10&facet=true&facet.query=title:donkey&facet.query=text:donkey&wt=json
I have a field in my solr schema as "Post Date"(exclude the quotes). when i fire a query with "fl" (field list) parameter in order to view only Post Date of search results, since this field contains a space I am not getting anything in the docs responses. I tried using +, %20 but still i get no results. Please help.
I would like to inform that i have found a solution to this. I tried experimenting and hence came up with a solution on putting \+ as the substitute for white space in the query. Hence the query should be Post\+Date:[ranges]
I couldnt aford to change my schema as many teams are depending on it and we are upgrading our system to a new search engine.
You can specify (what Solr deems crazy) fields by wrapping them like this:
field(Post Date)
This actually changes the returned results fieldname too so you'll get back something like:
"field(Post Date)" : "2010-01-01"
And not just the name as you might imagine.
As a possible workaround, you might be able to use a wild card to achieve your results. Using the solr wiki http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters#glob you may be able to specify fl=Post*Date which would possibly get around your problem. I have not verified this but it might work.
Update: This doesn't seem to work on either version of solr I tried (1.4.0 and 3.6.1). Looks like this may have been discussed at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FieldAliasesAndGlobsInParams but it does not appear to be implemented.
