First up: I very much appreciate your input! > <fieldType name="prefix_token" class="solr.TextField" > positionIncrementGap="1"> > <analyzer type="index"> > <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory" /> > <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" /> > <filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="1" maxGramSize="20" > /> > </analyzer> > <analyzer type="query"> > <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory" /> > <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" /> > </analyzer> > </fieldType> > > With this field type, the query "ding" or "din" or "di" would return "Foo Bar > Ding Dong". hmm wouldnt it return "foo bar ding dong" ? obviously i have to decide how important it is for me to get the original mixed case string for auto suggest, but it does matter a bit more over here in Europe than in the US for example. if i would both index the original mixed case and the lower case version and remove the solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory in both analyzer sections, then it should work however as long as terms usually start with an upper case letter if they do contain upper case letters. let me try this out .. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith m...@pooteeweet.org
