Hi,
i'm trying to resolve few problems with indexing 'From' headers using
FTS/Solr. I was tcpdumping the communication between Dovecot and
Jetty/Solr and noticed that 'From' headers, which includes also
sender's name, are double escaped. This is what was Dovecot sending to
Solr:
</field><field name="from">Name Surname
&lt;[email protected]&gt;</field></doc></add>
As you can see, characters < and > were escaped to < and > which
were, again, escaped to &lt; and &gt;. This is doing problems
while trying to index whole e-mail address, as Solr sees it as
'<[email protected]>'.
I spend hours trying to figure out why i'm able to search in all parts
of e-mail addresses but searching for full and exact e-mail address
was successfull ONLY for messages which doesn't include sender's name
in 'From' header. Finally, after i found this bug, this fixed all
search problems:
<filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="&lt;"
replacement=""/>
<filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="&gt;"
replacement=""/>
I hope that, at least, this bug, reported by me, will be fixed. Thank you.
