Jack, Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having similar issues (different parts of solrconfig) and my guess is it's a config issue somewhere, vs. a proper casting problem, some nested init issue. Was curious what you found? On Mar 13, 2013, at 11:52 AM, Jack Park wrote: > I can safely sa

Revisiting IDF Problems and Index Slices

and Solr call "shingles". Using my previous examples: Question: "How can I get a widget ?" Normal index: "how", "can", "i", "get", "widget" Shingles: "how_can", "can_i", "i_get", "get_widget" Question: "How do I change the widget battery?" Normal index: "how", "do", "i", "change", "widget", "battery" Shingles: "how_do", "do_i", "i_change", "change_widget", "widget_battery" And both sets of tokens would be added to the index, in different fields, and with possibly different boosts. The idea being that tokens like "can_i" might be somewhat more statistically significant than "can" and "i" by themselves. So at least in the first question, which has all low quality words, the "can_i" might help a bit.
