Hello Jochen
What are your tokenizers? I guess it should be 'KeywordTokenizerFactory'. To fully
understand, you might send the whole analyzer chain.
But there might be a simple mistake in your pattern, character classes are enclosed by
square brackets. We do a replace of all non-alphanumeric characters like this:
**********************************
<filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory"
pattern="[^\w]+"
replacement=""
replace="all"
/>
**********************************
If that helps.

Betreff: removing whitespaces in query
Von: Jochen Lienhard <lienh...@ub.uni-freiburg.de>

Hello,
we have indexed a field, where we have removed the whitespaces before the
indexing.
For example:
50A91
Frei91\:9984
Now we want allow the users to search for:
50 A 91
Frei 91 \: 9984
Our idea was to add a PatternReplaceFilterFactory in the query analyzer to
remove the
whitespaces:
<charFilter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="(\s+)"
replacement=""
replace="all"/>
But it does not work.
For normal queries - we are using vufind als frontend - we can remove the
whitespace in
the yaml part, but if
the user search with wildcards ... the yaml does not work ... so we hope to
find a
solution in solr.
We are using solr 3.6.
Thanks for ideas and hints.
Greetings from Germany
Jochen
