Re: Opensearch XSLT
There is a request handler in 1.2 for Atom. That might be close. OpenSearch was a pretty poor design and is dead now, so I wouldn't expect any new implementations. Google's GData (based on Atom) reuses the few useful OpenSearch elements needed for things like number of hits. Solr's Atom support really should include those. http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/reference.html wunder On 10/12/07 4:59 AM, "Robert Young" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Does anyone know of an XSLT out there for transforming Solr's default > output to Opensearch format?

Re: Opensearch XSLT
There is a file ${SOLR_HOME}/conf/xslt/example_rss.xsl which is easily
modified to transform Solr's output to OpenSearch. Works great, though
fixing the date format is a hassle. The supported, searchable Solr date
format is not the OpensSearch standard.

Opensearch XSLT
Hi, Does anyone know of an XSLT out there for transforming Solr's default output to Opensearch format? Our current frontend system uses opensearch so we would like to integrate it like this. Cheers Rob
solr not finding all results
I've found an odd situation where solr is not returning all of the documents that I think it should. A search for "Geckoplp4-M" returns 3 documents but I know that there are at least 100 documents with that string. Here is an example query for that phrase and the result set: http://localhost:9020/solr/select/?q=Geckoplp4-M&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on&fl=comments,id 0 0 10 0 on comments,id Geckoplp4-M 2.2 Geckoplp4-M m2816500 toptrax recordings. Same tracks. Geckoplp4-M m2816544 Geckoplp4-M m2815903 Now here's an example of a search for two documents that I know have that string, but were not returned in the previous search: http://localhost:9020/solr/select/?q=id%3Am2816615+OR+id%3Am2816611&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on&fl=id,comments 0 1 10 0 on id,comments id:m2816615 OR id:m2816611 2.2 Geckoplp4-M m2816611 Geckoplp4-M m2816615 Here is the definition for the "comments" field: And here is the definition for a "text" field: Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong? thanks, Kevin
Solr, operating systems and globalization
We discovered and verified an issue in SolrSharp whereby indexing and searching can be disrupted without taking Windows globalization & culture settings into consideration. For example, European cultures affect numeric and date values differently from US/English cultures. The resolution for this type of issue is to specifically control the culture settings to allow for index data formatting to work. However, SolrSharp culture settings should be reflective and consistent with the solr server instance's culture. This leads to my question: does Solr control its culture & language settings through the various language components that can be incorporated, or does the underlying OS have a say in how that data is treated? Some education on this would be greatly appreciated. cheers, jeff r.
dismax downweighting
i have a dismax query where I want to boost appearance of the query terms in certain fields but "downboost" appearance in others. The practical use is a field containing a lot of descriptive text and then a product name field where products might be named after a descriptive word. Consider an electric toothbrush called "The Fast And Thorough Toothbrush" -- if a user searches for fast toothbrush I'd like to down-weight that particular model's advantage. The name of the product might also be in the descriptive text. I tried -name description but solr didn't like that. Any better ideas? -- http://variogr.am/
Re: solr not finding all results
Sorry, I've figured out my own problem. There is a problem with the way I create the xml document for indexing that was causing some of the "comments" fields to not be listed correctly in the default search field, "content".

Re: Structured Lucene documents
Hi All, The Structured (or Multi-Page, Multi-Part) document problem is a problem I've been thinking about for a while. A couple of years ago when the project I was working on was using Lucene only (no Solr), we solved this problem in several steps. At the point of ingestion we created a custom analyzer and surrounding Java code that created a mapping for positions to which page it is on (recall that analyzers tokenize the terms in a given field and mark the position of the token). This mapping was stored outside of the Lucene index. At query time, we used home built Java to pull the position hits matching the query from the index and augmented the results generated by Lucene. At presentation time the results were molded into xml and then transformed by several xsl sheets, one of which translated the position hits to the page they were on using the information gleamed from the ingestion stage. When we moved to Solr, we created a custom QueryResponseWriter in order to get the position locations into the xml results and kept the same transformation to obtain the page level hits. The ingestion stage stays the same -- so really we're using Lucene to build the index, but Solr sits on top of it to serve results. I admit this is an awkward hack. Peter Binkley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) who I worked with on the project made this suggested improvement: > > "Paged-Text" FieldType for Solr > > A chance to dig into the guts of Solr. The problem: If we index a > monograph in Solr, there's no way to convert search results into > page-level hits.

For example: each page would have a url, and/or a title associated with the content. This becomes meaningful when we index things like newspapers and monographs which may have page, chapter, or section level content.So a solution would ideally have taken this into consideration. Does anyone with more experience know if this is a reasonable approach? Does an issue exist for this feature request? Other comments or questions?
