Mike Klaas commented on SOLR-516: --------------------------------- A quite reasonable addition, thanks!. I commited the core patch but named the parameter hl.maxAlternateFieldLength. Since it is so long anyway, it doesn't hurt to be explicit. I have zero familiarity with the ruby side of Solr, so I will leave the issue open for the ruby client patch to be reviewed and applied. > Add hl.alternateFieldLen parameter, to set max length for hl.alternateField > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-516 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-516 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: highlighter > Reporter: Koji Sekiguchi > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: SOLR-516-solr-ruby.patch, SOLR-516.patch, SOLR-516.patch > > > USE CASE: > You have a document that is composed of (short) title and (long) body fields > and want body to be highlighted. > In order to avoid highlighted body field to be empty, you can use > hl.alternateField parameter. > Although you want to set f.body.hl.alternateField=body, you may set > f.body.hl.alternateField=title, > because response time is awful when the body values are big. But the title > field provides users with > information smaller than body field. > In this case, you can use f.body.hl.alternateFieldLen=100 to limit the body > length to 100 characters. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
