Just for an update on this, I tried text_rev and it seems to work great.
So in summary, if you want partial word matches within a url or small
sentence (title), here is what I did and it seems to work pretty well:
- create an extra field that is all lower case , I used mysql lcase in
the query for DIH
- make that field use text_rev type in schema.xml
- make the query be "sulli OR *sulli*" (the *sulli* doesnt seem to
match sulli if its at the end of the field)
thanks

Hi, if you are using Solr 1.4 I think you might want to try type
text_rev
(look in the example schema.xml)
unless i am mistaken:
this will enable leading wildcard support for that field.
this doesn't do any stemming, which I think might be making your
wildcards
behave wierd.
it also enables reverse wildcard support, so some of your substring
matches
will be faster.

Hi, I saw some older postings on this, but didnt see a resolution.
I have a field called title, I would like to be able to find
partial word
matches within the title.
For example:
http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=textTitle:%22*sulli*%22
I would expect it to find:
<str name="textTitle">the daily dish | by andrew sullivan</str>
but it doesnt, it does find sully (which is fine with me also as a
bonus),
but doesnt seem to get any of the partial word stuff. Oddly enough
before I
lowercased the title, the wildcard matching seemed to work a bit
better, it
just didnt deal with the case sensitive query.
At first I had mixed case titles and I read that the wildcard
doesn't work
with mixed case, so I created another field that is a lowered
version of the
title called "textTitle", it is of type text.
Is it possible with solr to achieve what I am trying to do, if so
how? If
not, anything closer than what I have?
thanks
