How would I handle a search for 21" or 3'. The " and ' symbols appear to get
stripped away by Lucene before passing the query off to the analyzers.
Here is my analyzer in the schema.xml:
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt"
ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>
<filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true"
words="stopwords.txt"/>
<filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" splitOnCaseChange="1"
generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0"
catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.KStemFilterFactory" cacheSize="20000"/>
<filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
I could certainly replace X" with X inch using regex in my custom request
handler. But, I would rather not have synonyms in two separate places.
We are also using the DisjunctionMaxQueryParser to build the actual query from
the front end.
