Re: Cannot get "uf" (user fields) to work

Hi Steve,
You use qf to limit search on some fields.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to utilize "uf" but it doesn't work.  My reading of it per:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/The+Extended+DisMax+Query+Parser
is I can use it to limit into which fields a search is performed.  E.g.: If
my index has F1, F2, F3, F4, and I set "uf" to F3, than I should get hits
on F3 only.

Here is my request handler:

   <requestHandler name="/select_group_a" class="solr.SearchHandler">
      <lst name="defaults">
        <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
        <int name="rows">20</int>
        <str name="defType">edismax</str>
        <str name="qf">F1 F2 F3 F4</str>
        <str name="uf">F3</str>
        <str name="fl">type,id,score</str>
        <str name="wt">xml</str>
        <str name="indent">true</str>
      </lst>
   </requestHandler>

I also tried passing "uf" on the URL and it too didn't work.  I'm getting
hits on terms that are in other fields.

Is my usage of "uf" wrong?

Thanks

Steve
