This feature is known as fuzzy query, not keyword match. Unfortunately, the edit distance limit is limited to 2. 3 or more are not supported. Lucene itself still has the old "slow" fuzzy query that supports larger edit distances, but Solr has no syntax for selecting it.
Actually, this limit of 2 is strict and enforced in Solr 4.x and 5.x and an exception will be thrown. So, are you really not seeing an exception when you use an edit distance greater than 2? Also, please confirm that your query string does not contain actual quotes. If it did, the fuzzy syntax would simply be analyzed as if it were simple text. -- Jack Krupansky On Wed, Sep 30, 2015 at 9:32 AM, anil.vadhavane <an...@procentris.com> wrote: > Hi Benedetti, > > Yes, at first it looks like a user error and I am surprised as well with > the > case. > > We tested this on two different system.
