: In Solrconfig.xml, default request handler is set to "standard". I am : planning to change that to use dismax as the request handler but when I : set "default=true" for dismax - Solr does not return any results - I get : results only when I comment out "<str name="defType">dismax</str>".
you need to elaborate on what you mean by "does not return any results" ... doesn't return results for what exactly? what do your requests look like? (ie full URLs with all params) what do you expect to get back? what URLs are you using when you don't use defType=dismax? what do you get back then? not setting defType means you are getting the standard LuceneQParser instead o the DismaxQParser which means the qf param is being ignored and hte defaultSearchField is being used instead. are the terms you are searching for in your default search field but not in your title or pagedescription field?
