In my solrconfig.xml I specify a mm of 100% yet, searches with multiple terms, still show results that only match some of the search terms. If I explicitly put a + in front of each term, the desired behavior is achieved, but for obvious reasons, I don't want the user to have to enter the +'s.
Also, I have tried several variations of the mm parameter, and none of them seem to achieve what I am after. Below is the entire request handler:
<requestHandler name="dismax" class="solr.SearchHandler" >
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="defType">dismax</str>
<str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
<float name="tie">0.01</float>
<str name="qf">
body^0.5 subject^3.0 from^10.0 to^7.0
</str>
<str name="mm">
100%
</str>
<int name="ps">100</int>
<str name="q.alt">*:*</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>
What am I doing wrong?
I've answered my own question. The xml config above is fine. I was passing a boost parameter to the query that looked something like
{!boost b=<some boost>}
And that was causing the dismax handler to parse the query differently, thereby ignoring the mm.

My requirement is to provide automatic suggestions to users on asset names as per their project.
I have tried using AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory and BlendedInfixLookupFactory, as these are the only ones that support context filtering.
But no suggestion results are being returned.
Below is extract from solrconfig.xml:
<searchComponent name="suggest" class="solr.SuggestComponent">
<lst name="suggester">
<str name="name">mySuggester</str>
<str name="lookupImpl">AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory</str>
<str name="dictionaryImpl">DocumentDictionaryFactory</str>
<str name="field">assetname_str</str>
<str name="indexPath">/home/suggest_index</str>
<str name="contextField">projectid</str>
<str name="weightField">weight</str>
<str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">string</str>
<str name="buildOnStartup">false</str>
<str name="buildOnCommit">false</str>
</lst>
</searchComponent>
<requestHandler name="/suggest" class="solr.SearchHandler" startup="lazy">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="suggest">true</str>
<str name="suggest.count">10</str>
<str name="suggest.dictionary">mySuggester</str>
</lst>
<arr name="components">
<str>suggest</str>
</arr>
</requestHandler>
However if I try using FuzzyLookupFactory as lookup Impl, then suggestion results are returned as expected.(but problem is Fuzzylookupfactory does not support context filtering)
url used:
http://ipaddress:port/solr/collection_name/suggest?suggest=true&suggest.build=true&suggest.dictionary=mySuggester&wt=json&suggest.q=Com&suggest.cfq=
1234
(I know this is an old issue, but in case others stumble across it with the same problem...)
I spent a couple of days dealing with the same empty results. You don't say what the type of the field is that you're using as material for suggestions. You've got suggestAnalyzerFieldType set to string.
By default, string is a fieldType with no analysis many out-of-the-box schema.xml examples. A key concept, which is only vaguely hinted at in the Solr manual's Suggester doc, is that lookupImpls like AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory and BlendedInfixLookupFactory can take a suggestAnalyzerFieldType that is not the type of the field from which you are generating suggestions, but rather need a type that contains the appropriate analyzer elements, such as solr.WhiteSpaceTokenizer needed for suggestions.
In my case, I was trying to suggest from a multivalued string field--I wanted the field to have no tokenization. But until I changed the suggestAnalyzerFieldType from string to text_ws (a fieldType whose analyzer is only sole.WhiteSpaceTokenizer, I got empty results.
For what it's worth, if you use multivalued string field for suggestions, and many documents that contain the same string values in that field, then the BlendedInfixLookupFactory seems to produce a better result with no duplicate suggestions.
I've followed this to set up shard in Solr. As per this topic "Testing Index Sharding on Two Local Servers", I was able to query into shard and get the result (somehose:port1/solr/select?shards=somehost:port1/solr,somehost:port2/solr&indent=true&q=helloworld
).
In that page it is also mentioned that "Rather than require users to include the shards parameter explicitly, it is usually preferred to configure this parameter as a default in the RequestHandler section of solrconfig.xml."
So, I made the changes in solrconfig.xml of the solr instance which is running on port1
<requestHandler name="/select" class="solr.SearchHandler">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
<int name="rows">10</int>
<str name="df">text</str>
</lst>
<lst name="shards.info">
<lst name="localhost:port2/solr">
<long name="numFound">1333</long>
<float name="maxScore">1.0</float>
<str name="shardAddress">http://localhost:port2/solr</str>
<long name="time">686</long>
</lst>
<lst name="localhost:port1/solr">
<long name="numFound">342</long>
<float name="maxScore">1.0</float>
<str name="shardAddress">http://localhost:port1/solr</str>
<long name="time">602</long>
</lst>
</lst>
Now, I'm trying to hit somehost:port1/solr/collection1/select?q=helloworld&wt=json&indent=true
but I'm not getting the desired responce. Please let me know what I'm missing here?
You can't just copy the content from the response into your configuration file - those two formats are completely different. The reference is to the fact that each entry in the defaults section is added to the query string (unless they're provided there already - there are also options if you want to force a certain value that can't be overridden).
<requestHandler name="/selectdistributed" class="solr.SearchHandler">
<lst name="defaults">
[...]
<str name="shards">somehost:port1/solr,somehost:port2/solr</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>
.. should do what you want. This will add shards=somehost:port1/solr,somehost:port2/solr to the query string of all the requsts that go through that handler.
I'm using SOLR to store music playback information
when i do a query (broken out for readability):
http://localhost:8983/solr/select/
?q=song_1:*
&stats=true
&stats.field=song_2
&stats.field=song_3
&rows=0
I'm trying to see, of the people that played song_1, how many also played the other songs.
question: How can I also return the totals for each stats.field regardless of my query song_1?
In other words, I already get the coun tof people that played song_1 and song_2, but how can I add how many played song_2, regardless of song_1.
<response>
<result name="response" numFound="5454" start="0"></result>
<lst name="stats">
<lst name="stats_fields">
<lst name="song_2">
<str name="min">4</str>
<str name="max">1500</str>
<long name="count">2000</long>
<long name="missing">3454</long>
<lst name="facets"/>
</lst>
<lst name="song_3">
<str name="min">10</str>
<str name="max">1500</str>
<long name="count">200</long>
<long name="missing">3454</long>
<lst name="facets"/>
</lst>
</response>
I don't know why you are using the stats query.
If your requirement is to see how many people have listened to song_1 and also you want to see how many people has listened to other songs..
Then you should used faceted search.

Hope this helps you in resolving this issue!!!
I am wondering if it is possible with Solr 3.4 to boost a search result, if the query is found in a special field without using the "fieldname:query"-syntax.
Let me explain:
I have several fields in my index. One of it is named "abbreviation" and is filled with text like AVZ, JSP, DECT, ...
To be able to find results when searching purely for "AVZ" I added a
<copyField source="abbreviation" dest="text"/>
in my schema.xml. The field text is my defaultSearchField.
This is not the best solution in my opinion. So I am trying to find out, if it is possible to search for "AVZ" in all fields and if the String is found in the field abbreviation, the result entry should be boosted (increasing the score) so that it will be listed at first entry in the result list. Would be the same as using abbreviation:AVZ AVZ as query.
The other possibility I can think of is to analyze the query. And if a substring like "AVZ" is found, the query will be appended with abbreviation:AVZ. But in this case I must be able to find out, which abbreviations are indexed. Is it possible to retrieve all possible terms of a field from the Solr index using SolrJ?
Best Regards
Tobias
Without the fieldname:term syntax use can define a request handler -
<requestHandler name="search" class="solr.SearchHandler" default="true">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
<str name="defType">dismax</str>
<str name="qf">
abbreviation^2 text
</str>
<str name="q.alt">*:*</str>
<str name="rows">10</str>
<str name="fl">*,score</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>
This uses the dismax query parser. You can use edismax as well.
This will boost the results and query would be a simple query as q=AVZ.
If only through url, you can boost match on specific field like mentioned # link
e.g.
q=abbreviation:AVZ^2 text:AVZ
This would boost the results with a match on abbreviation, which would result the documents to appear on top.
It is not possible to get all results with dismax using the *:* query.
However, for all docs just do not pass any q param. q.alt=*:* will return all the docs.
Else, update the defType to edismax.
<requestHandler name="search" class="solr.SearchHandler" default="true">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
<str name="defType">edismax</str>
<str name="qf">
abbreviation^2 text
</str>
<str name="q.alt">*:*</str>
<str name="rows">10</str>
<str name="fl">*,score</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>
Apache Solr 6.4.2:
Boosting Exact phrase search not working:
Solrconfig.xml:
explicit
<int name="rows">10</int>
<str name="defType">edismax</str>
<str name="qf">names^50</str>
<!-- <str name="df">text</str> -->
</lst>
Solr query used to test: q=(names:alex%20pandian)&wt=json&debugQuery=on
In debug mode it shows
"parsedquery_toString":"+((names:alex ((names:pandian)^50.0))) ()"
It is boosting the terms from second word only. In this case only Pandian is boosted but Alex is not.
I have a fieldType named double_score. The values here are all precomputed and can fit in a double format. I would like to use this score to boost the associated values s.t. solr returns values by this order. Moreover, I'd like to do this from just the schema. This last clause seems to be the one that is tripping up my searching / configuring fu.
Thanks.
EDIT: (dismax)
<requestHandler name="default" class="solr.SearchHandler" default="true">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="defType">dismax</str>
<str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
<int name="rows">10</int>
<str name="qf">name</str>
<str name="bq">double_score</str>
<str name="debug">true</str>
<str name="q.alt">*:*</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>
Use sort order if you would like your results to be sorted acording to your double_score field.
You can see here how to use sort after your field: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters#sort
If you want this to be set in your schema you just have to add the sort:double_score as a default parameter for each request:
<requestHandler name="default" class="solr.StandardRequestHandler" default="true">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="sort">double_score</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>
"returns values by this order" if that means a simple sort, go with Dorin's answer.
But to boost results based on fields (you may take several fields into consideration) , see this: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrRelevancyFAQ#How_can_I_make_.22superman.22_in_the_title_field_score_higher_than_in_the_subject_field
