: Has anyone tried to take an index generated elsewhere and install it in a : core? I have done that and I can see all the documents if I do "q=*:*" but : I can't actually query any of the fields even though I added the field : names to schema
that combination (docs are clearly visible when doing a serach for *:* but no results when you try to query on specific fields) screams out an obvious explanation: the schema.xml you have created is not consistent with the schema.xml used to create the index. Trying to manually "guess" what the schema should be, and manually creating a schema.xml based on an index you "found" is border line impossible (if you were really familiar with Solr you could probably stumble your way through and figure out a decent chunk of stuff, but for a novice it would be a nightmare) just because you know that the index has a *stored* field named "doc_title" doesn't mean you know wether that field was *indexed*, or what kind of FieldTYpe/Analyzer was used when it was indexed. However: if you have the schema.xml from the Solr server that created the index, (or a copy of the code that created the index if it was made w/o SOlr using low level Lucene method calls) then you should have everything you need. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
