Help with Query syntax. How to make a query that works in between AND and OR.
I have a search text field that contains all the search terms. I'm taking user input and breaking it up into tokens of term1, term2, term3, etc and the then submitting to Dismax. q=search_text:term1* AND search_text:term2* AND search_text:term3* This works great. The problem is when a user mistypes a term. Then nothing is found. This is not good. To address this I'm now doing OR instead q=search_text:term1* OR search_text:term2* OR search_text:term3* Now a mistyped term is no problem. I still get results. The issue now is that I get too many results back. What I want is something that effectively does an AND if a term is matched, but does an OR when a term is not found. To say it a differnt way -- If a term is found I only want results that contain that term. I've tried many different boolean expressions to no success. I've spent hours searching for a solution, but so far I've not found the answer. I feel that there is a simple solution, so I'm hoping that someone can enlighten me here. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Help-with-Query-syntax-How-to-make-a-query-that-works-in-between-AND-and-OR-tp4009451.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I've played with the mm parameter quite a bit. It does sort of do what I need if I do multiple queries decreasing the mm parameter with each call. However, I'm doing this for a web form auto complete or suggester so I really want to make this happen in a single request if at all possible. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Help-with-Query-syntax-How-to-make-a-query-that-works-in-between-AND-and-OR-tp4009451p4009460.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I'm trying to add some functionality and not have to do multiple queries. I've worked with the Suggester and so far I've not been able to get that to do what I need. I'll revisit the suggester component and see if I can make it do what I need. I have a kind of specialized search that I'm implenmenting. It's actually working great. I just need this one more piece to make it just about perfect. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Help-with-Query-syntax-How-to-make-a-query-that-works-in-between-AND-and-OR-tp4009451p4009470.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
