Kris - To chain multiple prefix queries together:
q=({!prefix f=field1 v=‘prefix1'} {!prefix f=field2 v=‘prefix2’}) The leading paren is needed to ensure it’s being parsed with the lucene qparser (be sure not to have defType set, or a variant would be needed) and that allows multiple {!…} expressions to be parsed. The outside-the-curlys value for the prefix shouldn’t be attempted with multiples, so the `v` is the way to go, either inline or $referenced. If you do have defType set, say to edismax, then do something like this instead: q={!lucene v=prefixed_queries} &prefixed_queries={!prefix f=field1 v=‘prefix1'} {!prefix f=field2 v=‘prefix2’} // I don’t think parens are needed with &prefixed_queries, but maybe. &debug=query (or &debug=true) is your friend - see how things are parsed. I presume in your example that didn’t work that the dash didn’t work as you expected? or… not sure. What’s the parsed_query output in debug on that one? Erik p.s. did you really just send a Word doc to the list that could have been inlined in text? :) > On Dec 8, 2016, at 7:18 AM, KRIS MUSSHORN <mussho...@comcast.net> wrote: > > Im indexing data from Nutch into SOLR 5.4.1. > I've got a date metatag that I have to store as text type because the data > stinks. > It's stored in SOLR as field metatag.date. > At the source the dates are formatted (when they are entered correctly ) as > YYYY-MM-DD > > q=metatag.date:2016-01* does not produce the correct results and returns > undesireable matches....2016-05-01 etc as example. > q={!prefix f=metatag.date}2016-01 gives me exactly what I want for one > month/year. > > My question is how do I chain n prefix queries together? > i.e. > I want all docs where metatag.date prefix is 2016-01 or 2016-07 or 2016-10 > > TIA, > Kris >
