Hi Atita, We actually looked into that and it does not appear to match based on a single phrase, but says that it must match a certain percentage of the listed phrases. What we need is something that would match based on a single phrase appearing a minimum number of times i.e. "Barker" minimum number of matches =3 where "Barker" showed up in a document 3 or more times.
Am I missing something there or am I reading this wrong? The mm (Minimum Should Match) Parameter When processing queries, Lucene/Solr recognizes three types of clauses: mandatory, prohibited, and "optional" (also known as "should" clauses). By default, all words or phrases specified in the q parameter are treated as "optional" clauses unless they are preceded by a "+" or a "-". When dealing with these "optional" clauses, the mm parameter makes it possible to say that a certain minimum number of those clauses must match. The DisMax query parser offers great flexibility in how the minimum number can be specified. We did try doing a query and the results that came back were reflective only of minimum number of phrases matching as opposed to a phrase being mentioned a minimum number of times. For example, If I say query for “Google” with mm=100 it doesn’t find Articles with 100 mentions of Google. It is used for multiple phrase queries. Example against our servers: query = "Barker" OR "Jones" OR “Baker” mm=1 103,896 results query = "Barker" OR "Jones" OR “Baker” mm=2 1200 results query = "Barker" OR "Jones" OR “Baker” mm=3 16 results Please let me know.
