I have a list of synoynms which is being expanded at query time. This yields a lot of results (in millions). My use-case is name search.
I want to sort the results by Levenstein Distance. I know this can be done with strdist function. But sorting being inefficient and Solr function adding to its woes kills the performance. I want the results to be returned as quickly as possible. One of the ways which I think Levenstein can work is, applying the strdist on the synonym file and getting the scores of each of the synonym. And then use these scores to boost the results appropriately, it should be equivalent to levenstein distance. But I am not sure how to do this in Solr or infact if Solr supports this. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Levenstein-Distance-tp3988026.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
