Thank you chris, I tried you suggestion it worked but one more problem for me is that i have defined my request handler in solrConfig.xml as below
<requestHandler name="dismax" class="solr.DisMaxRequestHandler" > <lst name="defaults"> <str name="echoParams">explicit</str> <float name="tie">0</float> <str name="qf"> txt1^1.1 txt2^1.2 txt3^1.3 txt4^1.4 txt5^1.5 </str> <str name="pf"> txt4^1.4 txt5^1.5 </str> <str name="ps">1</str> <str name="bf">total_boost</str> <str name="mm">2<-25%</str> </lst> </requestHandler> correct me if i am wrong isn't the above mm config means if its 1 or 2 terms then match all but if its more than 2 terms then 25% can be missing. i get below as parsed query <str name="parsedquery_toString">+(((txt2:monti^1.2 | txt3:monti^1.3 | txt1:monti^1.1 | txt4:monti^1.4 | txt5:monti^1.5) (txt2:python^1.2 | txt3:python^1.3 | txt1:python^1.1 | txt4:python^1.4 | txt5:python^1.5) (txt2:scandal^1.2 | txt3:scandal^1.3 | txt1:scandal^1.1 | txt4:scandal^1.4 | txt5:scandal^1.5))~3) (txt4:"monti python scandal"~1^1.4 | txt5:"monti python scandal"~1^1.5) sum(product(float(total_boost),const(0.7)),60.0/(1.0*float(rord(upload_time))+2.0)) </str> if i change <str name="mm">2<-50%</str> and do solrCtl restart indexname i don't see any change in parsed query. what am i doing wrong? thanks, vinay > Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 22:53:13 -0800 > From: hossman_luc...@fucit.org > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: minimum match issue with dismax > > > : do any one know how to make sure minimum match in dismax is working? i > : change the values and try doing solrCtl restart indexname but i don't > : see it taking into effect. any body have an idea on this? > > use debugQuery=true, and then look at the parsedquery ... it can > be somewhat confusing if you aren't use to it, but for simple testing: > don't use a pf, bf, or bq, set qf to a single field, and set tie=0 > > using the example configs a url like this... > > http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?tie=0&pf=&bq=&bf=&q=first+second+third&qt=dismax&qf=text&mm=50%25&debugQuery=true > > produces... > > +((DisjunctionMaxQuery((text:first)) DisjunctionMaxQuery((text:second)) > DisjunctionMaxQuery((text:third)))~1) () > > ...that ~1 is the result of computing 50% of 3 rounded down. if i change > it to 70%... > > http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?tie=0&pf=&bq=&bf=&q=first+second+third&qt=dismax&qf=text&mm=70%25&debugQuery=true > > ...i get... > > +((DisjunctionMaxQuery((text:first)) DisjunctionMaxQuery((text:second)) > DisjunctionMaxQuery((text:third)))~2) () > > ...etc. One thing to watch out for is that the "~X" syntax only shows you > the minNrShouldMath value for boolean queries. for phrase queries it > shows you the slop value, and for the individual DisjunctionMaxQueries it > shows you the tie breaker value (hence blanking out all those params keeps > it simpler and easier to spot the mm value getting used) > > > > -Hoss > _________________________________________________________________ You live life online.
