Re: Solritas in production
Apologies to drag this conversation up. I want to share my experience. Im a code hacker, I have written about 10 lines of code in my life, but can figure out most things and how they work, or how to get them to work. Im looking at deploying a vertical search engine. The data is a bit messy, but im normalising it as best I can and solr just seems to handle it so well. Who can argue with results in miliseconds. Now, I need to develop a front end. This is proving THE most difficult part of my solr experience. My options are. 1. Defailt Solritas/velocity 2. Wrap this into a drupal or similar cms with solr functionality. 3. Code this in php. I dont have the knowledge to code in php. I cant use a cms for a variety of reasons, most of which are related to how it is handled in the database and the format of my data not fitting to a cms's framework, so im left to look at point 1 again. Im sure the knowledge in this forum is without question, but when I see things like "not production ready" that doesnt mean much to me, someone hacking out a website. Im bootstrapping so finding someone to code an option 3 for me is a bit hard, even with offshore freelance help. If there was a set of steps to get Velocity working with my system that would give me a solution. Alternatively, if the php (or other) code clients coded a basic frontend template that guys like me could hack out that would open up the solr framework to a wider range of people. Anyway, after reading this post, and the one on this blog http://thoughtsasaservice.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/should-you-use-solritas-on-production/ I think I am going to look down the path of this further. The biggest drawback to this I can see is that Velocity consumes more memory, for me in my situation thats actually ok. Using host side tools like apache httpd or varnish as has been suggested is something that is possible in my situation - but a bolt on solution would be ideal. Hopefully my experience helps others. I wonder how many people like me (wordpress/joomla template hackers at best) go to the apache solr project and turn away because they cant figure out aspects, or they cant just install a simple solution. Dont dump velocity, it ticks so many boxes. Please add to it! -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solritas-in-production-tp3966191p4000661.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Solr4 how to make it do this?
Hi all, Simple scenario but I dont think a simple solution for a real estate website. I have an example schema field values in "bed" are numbers 0-20. In my website search box (simple html text input) I have a scenario where in the keyword input box, people may type in a natural search similar to they do with google. "3 bedroom house" How can I train (sorry dont have a better word) that when solr receives search terms like 3 bed 3 beds 3 bedrooms 3bed etc that it looks in the field "bed" for the number 3 when performing a search? And if that is possible, how do I then create additional options for fields so it can do searches across multiple fields in a value specific manner. Eg search term "3 bedroom 2 bathroom house" Schema Will "filter" this search so that it takes the number 3 and looks in the field "bed" for matches, and then takes the number 2, and looks in the field "bath" for matches in its search results?

Re: Solr4 how to make it do this?
I guess I could come up with a synonyms.txt file and every instance of 3 bed I change to bed:3 it "should" work. eg 3 bed => bed:3 not exactly a synonym or what it was designed for, but it might work? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr4-how-to-make-it-do-this-tp4008574p4008576.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Solr4 how to make it do this?
Thanks. Yeah I was hoping someone might have a solution. Seems to me a potential common scenario. ( a search term being/stemming to an actual field). I did think I might have to filter before passing to Solr but thats worst case scenario for me. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr4-how-to-make-it-do-this-tp4008574p4008581.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Solr4 how to make it do this?
Thanks everyone for the fast response. Pre processing it is. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr4-how-to-make-it-do-this-tp4008574p4008774.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Solr4 how to make it do this?
I have been thinking about this some more. So my scenario of search is as follows. A visitor types in 3 bed 2 bath condo new york Now my schema has bed, bath, property type, city. The data going in is denormalised csv files, so column headings are the fields. The search consists of a near exact match for this type of data to be a field search eg bed:3 or property type:condo. I have been experimenting on solrs auto complete functionality. And I think if I can somehow create a field (Auto_complete) that is basically a concatenation. I will use a rough excel formula to explain. Column A,B,C,D = Bed, Bath, Type, City A1=3, B1=2, C1=condo, D1=New York. In E1 I would write =concatenate(A1," ","bed"," ",B1," ","bath"," ",C1," ",D1) the value being "3 bed 2 bath condo new york" Now if I can generate this in the solr index somehow (I know I can do it in my csv files beforehand but solr might be easier) and my Autocomplete function hooks into this field (Auto_complete) if a user types in a more natural search term, it should pick this up and I dont have to try and pre process that search term beforehand. Thoughts? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr4-how-to-make-it-do-this-tp4008574p4009304.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
