That might work, although depending on your use-case it might be hard to have a good controlled vocab on citynames (hotel metropole bruxelles, hotel metropole brussels, hotel metropole brussel, etc.) Also 'hotel paris bruxelles' stinks...
given your example: > Doc 1 > name => "Holiday Inn" > city => "Denver" > > Doc 2 > name => "Holiday Inn, Denver" > city => "Denver" > > q=name:(Holiday Inn, Denver) turning it upside down, perhaps an alternative would be to query on: q=name:Holiday Inn+city:Denver and configure field 'name' in such a way that doc1 and doc2 score the same. I believe that must be possible, just not sure how to config it exactly at the moment. Of course, it depends on your scenario if you have enough knowlegde on the clientside to transform: q=name:(Holiday Inn, Denver) to q=name:Holiday Inn+city:Denver Hth, Geert-Jan 2010/10/9 Otis Gospodnetic <otis_gospodne...@yahoo.com> > Matt, > > The first thing that came to my mind is that this might be interesting to > try > with a dictionary (of city names) if this example is not a made-up one. > > > Otis > ---- > Sematext :: http://sematext.com/ :: Solr - Lucene - Nutch > Lucene ecosystem search :: http://search-lucene.com/ > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: Matt Mitchell <goodie...@gmail.com> > > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > > Sent: Fri, October 8, 2010 11:22:36 AM > > Subject: dynamic "stop" words? > > > > Is it possible to have certain query terms not effect score, if that > > same query term is present in a field?
