Inquiries for such a reverse query feature have come up before - the standard response is:
1. No, Solr does not have such a feature at this time. 2. Check out Luwak. 3. Sounds like you want what Elasticsearch calls Percolator. See: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-percolate.html 4. It would be great if someone would submit a patch to add this feature to Solr. So... 1. Is Percolator indeed what you want? 2. Why doesn't Luwak satisfy your needs? Be specific. 3. Somebody should file a Solr Jira for "Add reverse query (ala Percolator) to Solr". Including specific examples. -- Jack Krupansky On Fri, Oct 2, 2015 at 9:33 AM, remi tassing <tassingr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I have medium-low experience on Solr and I have a question I couldn't quite > solve yet. > > Typically we have quite short query strings (a couple of words) and the > search is done through a set of bigger documents.
