Our Solr implementation includes a third-party filter that adds additional, multiple term types to the token list (beyond "word", etc.). Most of the time this is exactly what we want, but we felt we could improve our search results by having different tokens on the index and query side. Since the filter in question was third-party and we didn't have access to source code, we wrote our own filter that will take out tokens based on their term attribute type.
We didn't see another filter available that does this - did we overlook it? And if not, is this something that would be of value if we contribute it back to the Solr community? Monica Skidmore Search Technology Team CareerBuilder.com
