Hello, My objective is to be able to boost certain fields while allowing wildcards. Currently, I am doing this by checking if the user query has wildcards, and if yes then setting q.alt to be the user query and query to "". When I do the search vio*, I get the correct results, but no highlighting.
When I search lu*n I get the correct results with highlighting. When I search l*n, I get a 500 Internal Server Error. Any help figuring out why some queries work and others don't would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rebecca I am using ruby with solr. solrServer = Solr::Connection.new(SOLR_URL); highlighting = { :field_list => ['a', 'b', 'c'], :max_snippets => 1, :fragment_size => @snippet_size, :prefix => "<b>", :suffix => "</b>" } queryOptions = {:start => startOffset, :rows => @per_page, :highlighting => highlighting } filterQueries = [] @filters.each_pair {|key, value| filterQueries.push(key.to_s+':'+value) unless value.blank? } queryOptions[:filter_queries] = filterQueries unless filterQueries.empty? queryOptions[:query_fields] = "a^5 b c^1000" queryOptions[:phrase_fields] = "a^5 b c^1000" if(hasWildcards(@query)) queryOptions[:alternate_query] = @query.downcase @results = solrServer.search("", queryOptions) else @results = solrServer.search(@query.blank? ? '*:*' : query, queryOptions) end
