Hi all,
I am using solr in my web application for search purposes. However, i
am having a problem with the default behaviour of the solr search.
>From my understanding, if i query for a keyword, let's say "Laptop",
preference is given to result rows having more occurences of the search
keyword "Laptop" in the field "name". This, however, is producing
undesirable scenarios, for example:
1. I index an item A with "name" value "Sony Laptop".
2. I index another item B with "name" value: "Laptop bags for laptops".
3. I search for the keyword "Laptop"
According to the default behaviour, precedence would be given to item B
since the keyword appears more times in the "name" field for that item.
In my schema, i have another field by the name of "Category" and, for
example's sake, let's assume that my application supports only two
categories: computers and accessories. Now, what i require is a mechanism to
assign correct categories to the items during item indexing so that this
field can be used to better filter the search results, item A would belong
to "Computer" category and item B would belong to "Accessories" category. So
then, searching for "Laptop" would only look for items in the "Computers"
category and return item A only.
I would like to point out here that setting the category field manually is
not an option since the data might be in the vicinity of thousands of
records. I am not asking for an in-depth algorithm. Just a high level design
would be sufficient to set me in the right direction.
thanks.
