: I have an index which we are setting the default operator to AND. : Am I right in saying that using the dismax handler, the default operator in : the schema file is effectively ignored? (This is the conclusion I've made : from testing myself)
correct. : The issue I have with this, is that if I want to include an OR in my phrase, : these are effectively getting ignored. The parser is still trying to match : 100% of the search terms : : e.g. 'lucene OR query' still only finds matches for 'lucene AND query' : the parsed query is: +(((drug_name:lucen) (drug_name:queri))~2) () correct. dismax isn't designed to be used that way (it's a fluke of the implementation that using " AND " works at all) : Does anyone have any advise as to how I could deal with this kkind of : problem? i would set your mm to something smaller and let your users use "+" when they want to make something required. if you really want to support the AND/OR/NOT type sequence ... don't use dismax: that type of syntax is what the standard parser is for. -Hoss
