Hello folks..
I'm seeing something that makes total sense to me, but the pointy
haired bosses don't like it, so I've gotta come up with a solution. We
search a pretty standard product catalog, and due to stemming a search
for "running shoes" matches things with "Runs 1/2 a size large" in the
product description. I've tried tweaking the Query / Index time
settings, below, but I still get the stemming. Any ideas on how I can
make "running" not match "runs" in product descriptions, while still
keeping the words "run", "runs", "running"... searchable in the
product descriptions (just not stemming on them).
Here's my field config...
positionIncrementGap="100">
synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false"/>
ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/>
generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1"
catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1"
catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/>
protected="protwords.txt"/>
class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/>
ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/>
generateWordParts="0" generateNumberParts="1"
catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0"
catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/>
protected="protwords.txt"/>
class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/>
I don't think I can use stopwords, because I need to be able to search
on all of these words, just not match "runs" when they search
"running". In most cases the other stemming is fine, and if possible
I'd like to not completely turn it off. That is, however, an option.
It seems to be a solvable problem though - any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!
