Hi All,
Would anyone be able to help me debug my suggestion component? Right now, our
config looks like this:
<searchComponent name="suggest" class="solr.SuggestComponent">
<lst name="suggester">
<str name="name">mySuggester</str>
<str name="lookupImpl">FuzzyLookupFactory</str>
<str name="dictionaryImpl">FileDictionaryFactory</str>
<str name="sourceLocation">./conf/queries_list_with_weights.txt</str>
<str name="fieldDelimiter">,</str>
<str name="storeDir">conf</str>
<str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">keywords_w3_en</str>
<str name="buildOnStartup">false</str>
</lst>
</searchComponent>
We like the idea of the FuzzyLookupFactory because of how it interacts with
misspelled prefixes. However, we are finding that the exactMatchFirst
parameter, which is supposed to be set to true by default in the code, is NOT
showing exact match prefixes first. I think this is because of the weights we
have with each term. However, the documentation specifically states that
exactMatchFirst is meant to ignore weights
(https://builds.apache.org/view/L/view/Lucene/job/Solr-reference-guide-8.x/javadoc/suggester.html#fuzzylookupfactory).
For the prefix "box" this is what our suggestions list looks like. You can see
that "bond" is above other results I would expect to be above it, such as
"box@ibm," etc.:
{
"responseHeader":{
"status":0,
"QTime":112},
"command":"build",
"suggest":{"mySuggester":{
"box":{
"numFound":8,
"suggestions":[{
"term":"box",
"weight":1799,
"payload":""},
{
"term":"bond",
"weight":805,
"payload":""},
{
"term":"box@ibm",
"weight":202,
"payload":""},
{
"term":"box at ibm",
"weight":54,
"payload":""},
{
"term":"books",
"weight":45,
"payload":""},
{
"term":"box drive",
"weight":34,
"payload":""},
{
"term":"books 24x7",
"weight":31,
"payload":""},
{
"term":"box sync",
"weight":31,
"payload":""}]}}}}
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Best,
Audrey
