             Summary: Contribution of component to gather the most frequent 
user search request in real-time
                 Key: SOLR-4056
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4056
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: SearchComponents - other
    Affects Versions: 3.6.1
            Reporter: Siegfried Goeschl
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.6.2


I'm now finishing a SOLR project for one of my customers (replacing Microsoft 
FAST server with SOLR) and got the permission to contribute our improvements.

The most interesting thing is a "FrequentSearchTerm" component which allows to 
analyze the user-supplied search queries in real-time

 * it keeps track of the last queries per core using a LIFO buffer (so we have 
an upper limit of memory consumption)
 * per query entry we keep track of the number of invocations, the average 
number of result document and the average execution time
 * we allow for custom searches across the frequent search terms using the MVEL 
expression language (see http://mvel.codehaus.org)
 ** find all queries which did not yield any results - 'meanHits==0'
 ** find all "iPhone" queries - "searchTerm.contains("iphone) || 
searchTerm.contains("i-phone)''
 ** find all long-running "iPhone" queries - '(searchTerm.contains("iphone) || 
searchTerm.contains("i-phone)) && meanTime>50'
 * GUI : we have a JSP page which allows to access the frequent search terms
 * there is also an XML/CSV export we use to display the 50 most frequently 
used search queries in real-time

We use this component

 * to get input for QA regarding frequently used search terms
 * to find strange queries, e.g. queries returning no or too many result, e.g. 
caused by WordDelimeterFilter
 * to keep our management happy ... :-)


 Not sure if the name "Frequent Search Term Component" is perfectly suitable as 
it was taken from FAST - suggestions welcome. Maybe 
"FrequentSearchQueryComponent" would be more suitable?
