Re: wildcard matches in EnumField - what do I need to change in code to enable wildcard matches?
What you are asking for is comparable to saying: In my index I have a TrieIntField called severity when i search for severity:8765432 I get results, but when i search for severity:8* i get no results -- what do i need to change so that this type of query matches 8765432 and 8978 and 84356 etc... The bottom line is, but using the EnumField (or the TrieIntField, etc...) you are taking advantage of features to make specific usecases fast/efficient -- if those efficiencies don't server your usecase, you need to pick a differnet field type. example: just use a String field. : Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 06:50:32 + : From: Elran Dvir elr...@checkpoint.com : Reply-To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org : To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org solr-user@lucene.apache.org : Subject: wildcard matches in EnumField - what do I need to change in code to : enable wildcard matches? : : Hi all, : : In my index, I have an EnumField called severity.

wildcard matches in EnumField - what do I need to change in code to enable wildcard matches?
Hi all, In my index, I have an EnumField called severity. This is its configuration in enumsConfig.xml: enum name=severity valueNot Available/value valueLow/value valueMedium/value valueHigh/value valueCritical/value /enum My index contains documents with these values. When I search for severity:High, I get results. But when I search for severity:H* , I get no results. What do I need to change in Solr code to enable wildcard matches in EnumField (or any other field)? Thanks.

What do I need to change in Solr code to enable wildcard matches in EnumField (or any other field)? I would suspect that enum fields are not actually stored as text. They are likely stored in the index as an integer, with the Solr schema being the piece that knows what the strings are for each of the numbers. I don't think a wildcard match is possible. Looking at the code for the EnumFieldValue class (added by SOLR-5084), I do not see any way to match the string value based on a wildcard or substring. If you want to use wildcard matches, you'll need to switch the field to StrField or TextField, and make sure that all of your code is strict about the values that can end up in the field.

At a minimum, the doc is too skimpy to say whether this should work or whether this is forbidden. That said, I wouldn't have expected wildcard to be supported for enum fields since they are really storing small integers. Ditto for regular expressions on enum fields.

Re: wildcard matches in EnumField - what do I need to change in code to enable wildcard matches?
And I'm not even sure what the actual use case is here. I mean, the values of an enum field must be defined in advance, so if you think a value starts with H, just eyeball that static list and see that the only predefined value starting with H is High, so you can simply replace your * with igh - problem solved! Right? Or is there something or a lot more to your use case that you haven't disclosed? That said, there might be some value to having Solr do the wildcard lookup in the predefined list of values and then search for that value. Although the wildcard or regex could match more than one predefined value, which might be nice to select a set of enum values on a query, an OR of enum values. But... we need to consider the real use case before knowing if this makes any sense. I can imagine interesting use cases, but my personal imagination is not at issue for this particular thread. -- Jack Krupansky -Original Message- From: Shawn Heisey Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 9:46 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: wildcard matches in EnumField - what do I need to change in code to enable wildcard matches?
