Is there anyway of using wilcard searches on alphanumeric text like...R-1* ? let me share relevent information <fieldType name="textShoaib" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/> <!--This was originally <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> just playing around--> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true" /> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="0" generateNumberParts="0" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="0" preserveOriginal="1"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.EnglishPorterFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/> <!--This was originally <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>--> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="0" generateNumberParts="0" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="0" preserveOriginal="1"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.EnglishPorterFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> my requestHandler is... <requestHandler name="standard2" class="solr.SearchHandler"> <!-- default values for query parameters --> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="defType">dismax</str> <str name="echoParams">explicit</str> <str name="tie">0.6</str> <str name="pf">name^2.3 mat_nr^0.4</str> <str name="mm">0%</str> <!-- <int name="rows">10</int> <str name="fl">*</str> <str name="version">2.1</str> --> </lst> </requestHandler> and also the field on which I want to apply searching on <field name="mat_nr" type="textShoaib" indexed="true" stored="true" omitNorms="true"/> and the query Im using is qt=standard2&q=R-1* but this still doesnt work. any suggestions on this? thanks -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Alphanumeric-wildcard-search-problem-tp1393332p1393332.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
