Hi Yonik,
Thanks for your quick reply.
No, the queries themselves aren't in quotes.
Since I sent the initial email, I have managed to get non-leading wildcard
queries to work with this, but by unexpected means (for me at least :-).
If I add a LowerCaseFilterFactory to the fieldType, queries like s* (or S*)
work as expected.
So the fieldType schema element now looks like:
<fieldType name="text_verbatim" class="solr.TextField"
positionIncrementGap="100">
<analyzer type="index">
<tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt"
ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
I wasn't expecting this, as I would have thought this would change only the
case behaviour, not the wildcard behaviour (or at least not just the
non-leading wildcard behaviour). Perhaps I'm just not understanding how the
terms (term in this case as not tokenized) is indexed and subsequently matched.
What I've noticed is that with the LowerCaseFilterFactory in place, document
queries return results with case intact, but facet queries show the results in
lower-case
(e.g. document->appname=Something facet.field.appname=something). (I kind of
expected the document->appname field to be lower case as well)
Does this sound like correct behaviour to you?
If it's correct, that's ok, I'll manage to work 'round it (maybe there's a way
to map the facet field back to the document field?), but if it sounds wrong,
perhaps it warrants further investigation.
Many thanks,
Peter
