Hi all -
I've successfully run the hon-lucene-synonyms plugin from the Admin console
by adding the following to the Raw Query Parameters field...
&qf=text&defType=synonym_edismax&synonyms=true&synonyms.originalBoost=1.2&synonyms.synonymBoost=1.1
I got those from the Read Me on the github account.
Now I'm trying to make this work via a requestHandler in solrconfig.xml.
I think the following should work, but it just hangs if I add the last line
referencing synonyms.originalBoost
<requestHandler name="/test1" class="solr.SearchHandler">
<!-- default values for query parameters can be specified, these
will be overridden by parameters in the request
-->
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
<int name="rows">10</int>
<str name="defType">synonym_edismax</str>
<str name="qf">text</str>
<str name="synonyms">true</str>
<int name="synonyms.originalBoost">1.2</int> --> If I add this line,
the admin console just hangs when I hit /test1
</lst>
</requestHandler>
If I do NOT add the last line and only have the line that sets
synonyms=true, it appears to work fine.
I see the dot notation all over the sample entries in solrconfig.xml... Am
I missing something here?
Essentially, how do I get these variables set correctly from inside a
requestHandler configured in the solrconfig.xml file?
