Hi,
I've run into problems trying to achieve a seemingly simple thing. I'm indexing
a bunch of files (local ones and potentially some accessible via other
protocols like http or ftp) and have an index field with the url to the file,
e.g. "file:/home/foo/bar.pdf". Now I want to perform two simple types of
queries on this, i.e. retrieve all file records located under a certain path
(e.g. file:/home/foo/*) or find the file record for an exact URL.
What I naively tried was to index the file URL in a field ("fileURL") of type
string and simply perform queries like
fileURL:file\:/home/foo/*
and
fileURL:file\:/home/foo/bar.pdf
and neither one returned results.
the type is defined as
<fieldtype name="string" class="solr.StrField" sortMissingLast="true"
omitNorms="true"/>
and the field as
<field name="fileURL" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"
multiValued="false" />
I am using solr 1.4.1 and use solrj to do the indexing and querying.
This seems like a rather basic requirement and obviously I am doing something
wrong. I didn't find anything in the docs or the mailing list archive so far.
Any help, hints, pointers would be appreciated.
Robert
