Hello, In our application we have a catch-all field (the 'text' field) which is cofigured as the default search field. Now this field will have a combination of numbers, alphabets, special characters etc. I have a requirement wherein the WordDelimiterFilterFactory does not work on numbers, especially those with decimal points. Accuracy of results with relevance to numerical data is quite important, So if the text field of a document has data like "Bridge-Diode 3.55 Volts", I want to make sure that a search for "355" or "35.5" does not retrieve this document. So I found the following setting for the WordDelimiterFilterFactory to work for me (for most parts): <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="0" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="0" splitOnNumerics="0" preserveOriginal="1"/>
I am using the same setting for both index and query. Now the only problem is, if I have data like ".355". With the above setting, the analysis jsp shows me that WordDelimiterFilterFactory is creating term texts as both ".355' and "355". So a search for ".355" retrieves documents containing both ".355" and "355". A search for "355" also has the same effect. I noticed that when the entry for the WordDelimiterFilterFactory was completely removed (both index and query), then the above problem was resolved. But this seems too harsh a measure. Is there a way by which I can prevent the WordDelimiterFilterFactory from totally acting on numerical data ? Regards Rahul
