Hello,
I am using the eDisMax parser and have the following question.
With the eDisMax parser we can pass a query, q="brown and mazda", and
configure a bunch of fields in a solrconfig.xml SearchHandler to query on as
"qf". Let's say I have a SOLR schema.xml with the following fields:
<field name="color" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="brand" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
and the following request handler in solrconfig.xml:
<requestHandler name="/select" class="solr.SearchHandler" default="true">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="defType">edismax</str>
<str name="qf">color brand</str>
</lst>
</ requestHandler>
This makes boosting very easy. I can execute a query "q=brown^2.0 and
mazda^3.0") against the query handler "/select" above without specifying fields
in the query string. I can do this without having to copy color and brand to a
specific catch all field as I would with the "lucene" parser (which would be
configured as the default field "df").
The documentation at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/The+Extended+DisMax+Query+Parser
says that eDisMax "supports the full Lucene query parser syntax".
Does this mean that a query string "color:brown^2 and mazda" is legal with
eDisMax too? Notice that I am specifying the color field in the query (lucene
parser syntax). If the answer is yes, does this mean that "brown" is only
filtered against the color field and mazda will be filtered against both the
color field and the brand field?
Thanks!
