Re: Expanding sets of words

[Jack Krupansky]

Hmmm... I did a quick test and quoted phrase wasn't working for me either. 
Oh well.

But... it should work for the LucidWorks Search query parser!

I'll buy that book :)

Does this work with mutli-word terms?

(common lisp or assembly language)
(programming or coding or development)


I tried:

{!surround}(common lisp OR assembly language) W (programming)

but that returns a parse error.

Putting quotes around the multi-word terms parses but returns 0 results

{!surround}("common lisp" OR "assembly language") W (programming)

I'll make sure to include that specific example in the new Solr book.

Fantastic!  Thanks!

 Yes, with the Solr "surround" query parser:

q=(java OR groovy OR scala) W (programming OR coding OR development)

BUT... there is the caveat that the surround query parser does no
analysis. So, maybe you need "Java OR java" etc. Or, if you know that the
index is lower case.

Try this dataset:

curl 
http://localhost:8983/solr/****collection1/update?commit=true<http://localhost:8983/solr/**collection1/update?commit=true>
**<http://localhost:8983/solr/**collection1/update?commit=true<http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/update?commit=true>
**>-H 'Content-type:application/csv' -d '

id,features
doc-1,java coding
doc-2,java programming
doc-3,java development
doc-4,groovy coding
doc-5,groovy programming
doc-6,groovy development
doc-7,scala coding
doc-8,scala programming
doc-9,scala development
doc-10,c coding
doc-11,c programming
doc-12,c development
doc-13,java language
doc-14,groovy language
doc-15,scala language'

And try these commands:

curl 
"http://localhost:8983/solr/****select/?q=(java+OR+scala)+W+**<http://localhost:8983/solr/**select/?q=(java+OR+scala)+W+**>
programming\<http://localhost:**8983/solr/select/?q=(java+OR+**
scala)+W+programming%5C<http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=(java+OR+scala)+W+programming%5C>
>
&df=features&defType=surround&****indent=true"

curl 
"http://localhost:8983/solr/****select/<http://localhost:8983/solr/**select/>
<http://localhost:8983/**solr/select/<http://localhost:8983/solr/select/>
>
?\
q=(java+OR+scala)+W+(****programming+OR+coding)\
&df=features&defType=surround&****indent=true"

curl 
"http://localhost:8983/solr/****select/\<http://localhost:8983/solr/**select/%5C>
<http://localhost:**8983/solr/select/%5C<http://localhost:8983/solr/select/%5C>
>
?q=(java+OR+groovy+OR+scala)+****W+(programming+OR+coding+OR+***
*development)\
&df=features&defType=surround&****indent=true"


The LucidWorks Search query parser also supports NEAR, BEFORE, and AFTER
operators, in conjunction with OR and "-" to generate span queries:

q=(java OR groovy OR scala) BEFORE:0 (programming OR coding OR
development)

Is there a way to query for combinations of two sets of words?  For
example, if I had

(java or groovy or scala)
(programming or coding or development)

Is there a query parser that, at query time, would expand that into
combinations like

java programming
groovy programming
scala programming
java coding
java development
....
etc etc etc

Thanks!
