Re: Solr Summary Text
Dean, I will greatly appreciated if you can find them. I have looked everywhere and nothing pops up as obvious. There a number of people having the same issue in the last few months but no definitive answer and (unfortunately) Adobe is not very helpful. If anything the docs are wrong as ContextBytes has no effect. One will think that after 2+years since the product was released they will at least update the docs.

Re: Solr Summary Text
You can change solr's configuration through editing its text file to include the context when the entries in that collection are updated. I can't recall off the top of my head how to do this, but I can you can dig around on google for adding context to solr coldfusion 9 or something. They say the reason they excluded that is because it makes the index much smaller to omit the context and only include the title. I guess I see their point but in my experience it would save me tons of time if they would just enable it by default.

Re: Solr Summary Text
Hey Ray, I am actually just looking for something that is usable to display back to the end-user. When I mentioned the information that was appearing in the summary and context columns, I was only stating what I was seeing in a dump of collections. For me, I don't really care if the descriptive text that I show with the search results comes from summary or context column, just that it is there somewhere. I'm not trying to do anything fancy with suggestions or previous searches or anything like that.

Re: Solr Summary Text
Then it may be as good as it gets within CF, unfortunately. Don't know if it's even possible to change the length of the summary that is automatically created by CF. Another idea is to query the collection directly and process the XML that is returned yourself. If you look at the doc arr name=spell str node, it may contain all of the text that is indexed and you could use that to create your own summary. The url below might show your collections. Click on one and provide a a query string to see the results. Otherwise, change the url needed based on where your solr server is running. http://localhost:8983/solr/ - Gabriel On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 4:42 PM, Dean Lawrence dean...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Gabriel, Unfortunately, the contextPassages does not seem to work with Solr.

Re: Solr Summary Text
They work you just have to adjust ur settings. You have to edit the xml files that configure solr so that they retain the text and thus can present the context passage. Follow these instructions and then rebuild your index and you'll have context passages: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSe9cbe5cf462523a0-5bf1c839123792503fa-8000.html http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSe9cbe5cf462523a0-5bf1c839123792503fa-8000.htmlI, for one, found that solr was immensely more powerful and graceful than verity once I got it grokked. Solr has a wiki that breaks down their query syntax, as well, so check it out. You can do almost anything. To really get soem of the good stuff for ecommerce and heavy category searching ( facet counts, facet queries, etc) you have to directly interact with the solr web service rather than going through cfsearch, but its generally worth it.

It might be possible to mess with the solr instance directly to get this information, but I haven't tried it and assume you'd like to keep the solution within CF. - Gabriel On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 2:27 PM, Dean Lawrence dean...@gmail.com wrote: Am I the only one who is having a problem with this? I know that Adobe will be dropping support for Verity in future releases, so I would like to move over to Solr.

Any insight, even if it is to that's as good as it gets, would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Dean Does anyone know if you can control how much text is included in the summary text that Solr returns with it's results? I am trying to migrate from Verity to Solr, but the summary text that I am getting back is very short when using Solr. With Verity, I get back about a paragraph or so of text, but for the same data record with Solr, I am less than a sentence. I have tried adjusting both the contextBytes and contextPassages settings, but neither one changes what is being returned. I am running CF 9.01 and the content that is being indexed are database records. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
