: I've started implementing something to use fuzzy queries for selected fields : in dismax. The request handler spec looks like this: : : exact~0.7^4.0 stemmed^2.0
that's a pretty cool idea ... usually when people talk about adding support for other querytypes in dismax they mean to the query sytnax, but you are adding more info to the qf to specify how hte field should be handled in general -- i like it. i think if i had it to do over again (now that dismax supports multiple param values, and per field overrides) i would have made qf and pf multivalued params containing just the field names, and gotten the boost value from a per field overridable fieldBoost param, so adding a fuzzyDistance param would also be trivial 9without needing to parse crazy syntax) (hmmm... ps could be a per field overridable field too ... dismax v2.0 maybe) -Hoss
