DOH!!!! I just found a source that said that wildcards are not supported in the dismax request handler!! hmmmm is there any other way to boost my last-name wtihout using a dismax request handler? I tried adding a field boost in my insert document and add omitNorms to false to my last-name field, but that did not boost my last-name when I went to search... grumble grumble...

hey thanks for this info. So I've got it almost to where I want my search to be :) I've changed my schema and solrconfig in the following ways: in my schema I have 5 fields 2 of which are first-name and last-name. I have the text field and I copy last-name and first-name into it so that by default I only search across those 2 fields. What I did also is changed my dismax request handler to the following: <requestHandler name="dismax" class="solr.DisMaxRequestHandler" > <lst name="defaults"> <str name="echoParams">explicit</str> <float name="tie"> 0.01</float> <str name="qf"> last-name^2.0 first-name^1.0 </str> <str name="pf"> last-name^2.0 first-name^1.0 </str> <str name="fl"> *,score </str> </lst> </requestHandler> So that I boost last-name. and to my query I add 3 sort params "score desc,last-name asc,first-name asc". This gives me nice results. The only thing that is missing right now is that wildcards do not work. So if my q is john barber I get back the correct doc. When I change q to john bar* I don't get anything. My text field is defined as the default schema has it: <fieldtype name="text" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory "/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words=" stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.EnglishPorterFilterFactory" protected=" protwords.txt"/> <filter class=" solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class=" solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words=" stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.EnglishPorterFilterFactory" protected=" protwords.txt"/> <filter class=" solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldtype> I would like to be able to support such wildcards thanks a lot -- alessandro ferrucci =] On 7/21/07, Chris Hostetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > : case then I'd make my qf to be "last-name^2.0 first-name".
