No, that would be a violation of netiquette.  Please just send them directly
to me.

Re: Opensearch XSLT

2007-11-26 Thread Bill Fowler
According to the guy in their booth,  they support federated searches
on engines that support OpenSearch (meaning you can use their
federation tool to search content indexed by search engines that have
an OpenSearch interface -- e.g., A9)  but SearchServer '08 does NOT
have an OpenSearch interface to it's native search functionality.  You
can write one using .NET or have one of their partners develop one for
you.

Re: Forced Top Document

2007-10-24 Thread Bill Fowler
The typical use case, though, is for the featured document to be on top only
for certain queries.  Like in an intranet where someone queries 401K or
retirement or similar, you want to feature a document about benefits that
would otherwise rank really low for that query.  I have not be able to make
sorting strategies work very well.

Our approach has been to create a separate index of featured items that are
tagged by the desired query. And then the results are placed in a different
hit list as featured results (sort of like sponsored results).

Re: Opensearch XSLT

2007-10-12 Thread Bill Fowler
There is a file ${SOLR_HOME}/conf/xslt/example_rss.xsl which is easily
modified to transform Solr's output to OpenSearch.  Works great, though
fixing the date format is a hassle.  The supported, searchable Solr date
format is not the OpensSearch standard.

Re: Solr and KStem

2007-09-10 Thread Bill Fowler
Hello,

I would like to test this and have a few questions (please excuse what may
seem naive questions).

I would like to verify that this is purely a configuration feature -- since
the schema.xml defines the analysis/tokerizer chain no other changes are
required.  Also, the source seems to say that a lower case factory needs to
be "farther down" the tokenizer chain.  So does this mean that the KStem
factory appears before the lower case filter factory in the schema.xml.  Is
there a recommended (required?) tokenizer factory.  I am using the
WhiteSpaceFactory which seems OK.  Finally, I take it that I need to remove
the EnglishPorterFilterFactory item in the schema.xml -- or no?

Thanks,

Bill

Indexing a URL

2007-09-05 Thread Bill Fowler
Hello,

I am trying to post the following to my index:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/25/business/worldbusiness/25yuan.html?ex=1345694400&en=499af384a9ebd18f&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss


The url field is defined as:

   

However, I get the following error:

Posting file docstor/ffc110ee5c9a2ed28c8f35aa243bb53b.xml to
http://localhost:8983/news_feed/update



Error 500 

HTTP ERROR: 500ParseError at [row,col]:[3,104]
Message: The reference to entity "en" must end with the ';' delimiter.

It is apparently attempting to parse &en=499af384a9ebd18f in the URL.  I am
not clear why it would do this as I specified indexed="false."  I need to
store this because that is how the user gets to the original article.

Is there any data type that simply ignores the characters in the field?  I
don't care that it can't be a search field.  I've tried the "ignored" field
type and it still gives me the same error.

Thanks,

Bill
