Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1553: ------------------------------------ Lucid Imagination is contributing back this query parser currently being used at search.lucidimagination.com The extended dismax parser was based on the original Solr dismax parser. - Supports full lucene query syntax in the absence of syntax errors - supports "and"/"or" to mean "AND"/"OR" in lucene syntax mode - When there are syntax errors, improved smart partial escaping of special characters is done to prevent them... in this mode, fielded queries, +/-, and phrase queries are still supported. - Improved proximity boosting via word bigrams... this prevents the problem of needing 100% of the words in the document to get any boost, as well as having all of the words in a single field. - advanced stopword handling... stopwords are not required in the mandatory part of the query but are still used (if indexed) in the proximity boosting part. If a query consists of all stopwords (e.g. to be or not to be) then all will be required. - Supports the "boost" parameter.. like the dismax bf param, but multiplies the function query instead of adding it in - Supports pure negative nested queries... so a query like +foo (-foo) will match all documents Some examples of queries that currently give dismax fits that now work with extended dismax: OR AND NOT - " Example queries: http://localhost:8983/solr/select?defType=edismax&q=big+blue+house&pf=text&qf=text&debugQuery=true +(((text:big) (text:blue) (text:hous))~3) ((text:"big blue") (text:"blue hous")) http://localhost:8983/solr/select?defType=edismax&q=hello&pf=text&qf=text&boost=popularity&debugQuery=true boost(+(text:hello),int(popularity)) And if the text field were configured with the stopfilter only on the query analyzer, then http://localhost:8983/solr/select?defType=edismax&q=this+is+the+end&pf=text&qf=text&debugQuery=true +(((text:end))~1) ((text:"this is") (text:"is the") (text:"the end")) http://localhost:8983/solr/select?defType=edismax&q=how+now+"brown+cow"+popularity:100&pf=text&qf=text&debugQuery=true +(((text:how) (text:now) (text:"brown cow") popularity:100)~4) (text:"how now") > extended dismax query parser > ---------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-1553 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1553 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Yonik Seeley > Fix For: 1.5 > > > An improved user-facing query parser based on dismax -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
