Hello Solr friends:
Mr. Klaas - I've not tested your patch yet (will try to get to it soon) but
I've found almost the opposite problem now and people are questioning
how/why things are happening as they are.
I'm searching for the word "illegal" and the query results are coming back
with an entry that has "illegible" in it. "illegible" is highlighted as
well. I'm strictly searching for "illegal" - no modifiers (well, a + to
indicate I have to have it, but no ~ modifier).
I'm a newb to all this, so please bear with me. I'm using the standard
'text' field schema definition in the default 'schema.xml' to index this
field data. Does that account for partial and/or soundalike matches by
default?
Yes, the default text field contains EnglishPorterFilterFactory, which
"stems" english words. This normalizes pluralization and tense, but
can also result in confusion as you have noted.
The "default" fields in the example schema.xml should be treated as
examples and not as canonical field definitions. If you decide to use
one or all for your own application, it is important to understand
what they are going (the comments in the file as well as the analysis
screen in Solr adminui are good tools for this).
