Hello list, as Hoss suggests, I'll try to be more detailed.
I wish to use http parameters in my requests that define the precise semantic of an advanced search. For example, if I can see from sessions, that a given user is requesting, that not only public resources but resources private-to-him are returned. For example, if there's a parameter "ict", I want to expand the query with an extra (mandatory) term-query. I know I could probably do this at the client level but I do not think this is the best way, in particular about the access to private resources... I also think it's better to not rely too heavily on client's ability to formula string-queries since it allows all sorts of tweaking that one may not wish possible, in particular for queries that are service oriented. paul Le 19 févr. 2011 à 01:18, Chris Hostetter a écrit : > > : I want to implement a query-expander, one that enriches the input by the > : usage of extra parameters that, for example, a form may provide. > : > : Is the right way to subclass SearchHandler? > : Or rather to subclass QueryComponent? > > This smells like the poster child for an X/Y problem > (or maybe an "X/(Y OR Z)" problem)... > > if you can elaborate a bit more on the type of enrichment you want to do, > it's highly likely that your goal can be met w/o needing to write a custom > plugin (i'm thinking particularly of the multitudes of parsers solr > already has, local params, and variable substitution) > > http://people.apache.org/~hossman/#xyproblem > XY Problem > > Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing > with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y" > without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the > full issue.
