I have a similar question about dismax, here is what Chris said: the dismax handler uses a much more simplified query syntax then the standard request handler. Only +, -, and " are special characters so wildcards are not supported.

I want to use solr for some sort of live search, querying with incomplete terms + wildcard and getting any similar results. Radioh* would return anything containing that string. The DisMax req. hander doesn't accept wildcards in the q param so i'm trying the simple one and still have problems as all my results are coming back with score = 1 and I need them sorted by relevance.. Is there a way of doing this? Why doesn't * work in dismax (nor ~ by the way)?? 2. What do the phrase slop params do? 3. I'm trying to implement another index where I store a number of int values for each document. Everything works ok as integers but i'd like to have some sort of fuzzy searches based on the bit representation of the numbers. Essentially, this number: 1001001010100 would be compared to these two 1011001010100 1001001010111 And the first would get a bigger score than the second, as it has only 1 flipped bit while the second has 2. Is it possible to implement this in solr? Cheers, galo
