Thank you Hoss from correcting my understanding, again i missed this concept of edismax.
Do we have any solrj class or helper to handle the scenario to pass on the query terms (by stripping stopwords ) to edismax using solrj api. for ex: if user queries for *"term1 and term2"* build and query to pass on this to edismax so that this user query will be parsed as *"parsedquery": "(+(DisjunctionMaxQuery((textSpell:term1) DisjunctionMaxQuery((textSpell:term2))))/no_coord" * *Thanks,* *Rajesh**.* On Fri, Apr 24, 2015 at 1:13 PM, Chris Hostetter <hossman_luc...@fucit.org> wrote: > > : I was under understanding that stopwords are filtered even before being > : parsed by search handler, i do have the filter in collection schema to > : filter stopwords and the analysis shows that this stopword is filtered > > Generally speaking, your understanding of the order of operations for > query parsing (regardless of hte parser) and analysis (regardless of the > fields/analyzers/filters/etc...) is backwards. > > > the query parser gets, as it's input, the query string (as a *single* > string) and the request params. it inspects/parses the string according > to it's rules & options & syntax and based on what it finds in that string > (and in other request params) it passes some/all of that string to the > analyzer for one or more fields, and uses the results of those analyzers > as the terms for building up a query structure. > > ask yourself: if the raw user query input was first passed to an analyzer > (for stop word filtering as you suggest) before the being passed to the > query parser -- how would solr know what analyzer to use? in many parsers > (like lucene and edismax) the fields to use can be specified *inside* the > query string itself > > likewise: how would you ensure that syntactically significant string > sequences (like "(" and ":" and "AND" etc..) that an analyzer might > normally strip out based on the tokenizer/tokenfilters would be preserved > so that the query parser could have them and use them to drive hte > resulting query structure? > > > > -Hoss > http://www.lucidworks.com/ >
