Hi, I need help with solving a particular problem I'm having. I have a one box search website where users can type "cosmetic surgery houston tx" or "cosmetic surgery 22151". I need to come up with a reliable way to parse out the geo terms/or zipcodes from the user query so that I can submit a query to Solr with a serch term and lat/long. For example (q=costmetic+surgery&lat=12.565&long=-70.5615)
Possible solutions are to : 1. Create a custom filter to parse out the terms then match the terms w/ a long/lat, problems may arrise when dealing with more than one word geo terms like (new york ny). This method might not be very reliable. 2. Before I execute the query against Solr, parse out the terms and then submit the non geo query + lat/long to Solr. This may hamper performance. 3. Create another solr index with just geo terms and submit the query first to that index and use the lat/long from the highest ranking document as the location (assuming a document in this index contains lat, long, and the geo term) . Then submit final query to Solr Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to solve this problem without using two boxes. thanks again. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Need-help-with-Parsing-user-Query-tp20343464p20343464.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
