I've been playing around with highlighting snippets and there are times when I'd like to know if the snippet returned contains the entire value of the original field or if the snippet is a truncated version of the original field.
For example, when I search for "xms" below I can tell that the snippet returned is truncated: - original: CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail - snippet: CORSAIR <em>XMS</em> 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Obviously, I can compare the original to the snippet (stripping out the <em> tags) to see if they are the same, but does Solr natively support returning a boolean if the values are equal? I couldn't find anything at https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters Maybe the boolean would say "truncated=true" or something. Here's the example: $ curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?wt=json&indent=true&hl=true&hl.fl=*&q=xms' { "responseHeader":{ "status":0, "QTime":2, "params":{ "indent":"true", "q":"xms", "hl.fl":"*", "wt":"json", "hl":"true"}}, "response":{"numFound":1,"start":0,"docs":[ { "id":"TWINX2048-3200PRO", "name":"CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail", "manu":"Corsair Microsystems Inc.", "manu_id_s":"corsair", "cat":["electronics", "memory"], "features":["CAS latency 2,\t2-3-3-6 timing, 2.75v, unbuffered, heat-spreader"], "price":185.0, "price_c":"185,USD", "popularity":5, "inStock":true, "store":"37.7752,-122.4232", "manufacturedate_dt":"2006-02-13T15:26:37Z", "payloads":"electronics|6.0 memory|3.0", "_version_":1506070286991097856}] }, "highlighting":{ "TWINX2048-3200PRO":{ "name":["CORSAIR <em>XMS</em> 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System"]}}} My use case is only including ellipses (...) when the snippet is truncated: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/537 Thanks, Phil -- Philip Durbin Software Developer for http://dataverse.org http://www.iq.harvard.edu/people/philip-durbin
