Basically a user starts typing the first letters of a city and I want to return citynames that start with those letters, case-insensitive and not splitting the cityname on separate words (whether the separator is a whitespace or a "-"). But although the search of a user is case-insensitive, I want to return the values including casing, search on "new york" would return "New York", where the latter is how it's stored in my MS-SQL DB.
I've been testing my code via the admin/analysis page. I believe I don't want the WhitespaceTokenizerFactory on my field definition since that splits the city names I want the following behavior: query on: "new*" returns "New york" or "newbee", but does not return values like "greater new hampshire" "york*" does NOT return "new york" "nij*" returns "Nijmegen", but not "Halle-Nijman" Here's what I have come up so far: <field name="title" type="text_lower_exact" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="title_search" type="text_lower_exact" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <fieldType name="text_lower_exact" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords_dutch.txt"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords_dutch.txt"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> But when I leave out the WhitespaceTokenizerFactory I get: Plugin init failure for [schema.xml] fieldType "text_lower_exact": analyzer without class or tokenizer,trace=org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: SolrCore 'tt-cities' is not available due to init failure -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Searchquery-on-field-that-contains-space-tp4110166p4110495.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
