:
: according to hte echParams output, you aren't specifying a "q" param.
:
: You seem to be trying to specify your query input using the "q.alt" param
: -- but the q.alt param doesn't use the edismax parser specified by the
: defType param -- q.alt is a feature *of* the edismax parser that is used
: to completley override all of the options used to configure edismax when
: there is no "q" param, and it (by default) uses the defualt solr parser.
:
: (the intended usecase is along the lines of "if the user doesn't specify a
: query string, default to a search for all the books for sale via
: 'q.alt=inStock:true'")
:
: stop configuring a q.alt that matches you authors name, and instead
: specify a default "q" param (or enture your client always sends a "q"
: param) and see if that solves things for you.

: : Subject: Solr edismax always using the default fields?
: :
: : Hello,
: :
: : I'm trying to tune a search handler to get the results that I want. In the
: : solrconfig.xml I specify several different query fields for the edismax
: : query parser but it always seems to use the default fields instead.
: :
: : For example and clarification, when I remove Author from the "df" list of
: : fields the search results do not come up with the author I was looking for.
: : But when I add Author back in as a "df" it returns 19/20 of his documents as
: : the top search results. I guess I'm really confused because when you specify
: : the query fields solr shouldn't use those default fields. I guess it's not a
: : real super problem because I can define all the fields I need as defaults.
: : I'm just trying to figure out where I'm going wrong here. Is there a reason
: : that this would happen? I have the search handler xml below
: :
: : <requestHandler name="/select" class="solr.SearchHandler">
: :
: : <lst name="defaults">
: : <str name="echoParams">all</str>
: : <str name="defType">edismax</str>
: : <str name="df">Author</str> <------ADDING THIS GIVES DESIRED RESULT,
: : REMOVING BAD--
: : <str name="df">text</str> -----RESULT. NOTHING ELSE CHANGES
: : <str name="qf">text^0.5 Title^1.2 Author^2.0</str>
: : <str name="rows">20</str>
: : <str name="q.alt">*some author name*</str>
: : </lst>
: :
: : </requestHandler>
: :
: : And here is the echoed params of the search
: :
: : "responseHeader": {
: : "status": 0,
: : "QTime": 48,
: : "params": {
: : "lowercaseOperators": "true",
: : "df": [
