Hi, folks. I'm trying to get a very simple example working with Solr highlighting. I have a default search field (called, unsurprisingly "default-search-field") with text in it and I want query terms to be highlighted in that field when I do a search.
I'm using an up to date (as of this evening) checkout of 1.4. My solrconfig.xml contains the following highlighting element: <highlighting> <!-- Configure the standard fragmenter --> <!-- This could most likely be commented out in the "default" case --> <fragmenter name="gap" class="org.apache.solr.highlight.GapFragmenter" default="true"> <lst name="defaults"> <int name="hl.fragsize">200</int> </lst> </fragmenter> <!-- A regular-expression-based fragmenter (f.i., for sentence extraction) --> <fragmenter name="regex" class="org.apache.solr.highlight.RegexFragmenter"> <lst name="defaults"> <!-- slightly smaller fragsizes work better because of slop --> <int name="hl.fragsize">170</int> <!-- allow 50% slop on fragment sizes --> <float name="hl.regex.slop">0.5</float> <!-- a basic sentence pattern --> <str name="hl.regex.pattern">[-\w ,/\n\"']{20,200}</str> </lst> </fragmenter> <!-- Configure the standard formatter --> <formatter name="html" class="org.apache.solr.highlight.HtmlFormatter" default="true"> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="hl.simple.pre"><![CDATA[<span class="ht">]]> </str> <str name="hl.simple.post"><![CDATA[</span>]]> </str> </lst> </formatter> </highlighting> I'm using SolrJ to talk to the Solr server. Here's the code to do a query, where qs is the query string. SolrQuery q = new SolrQuery(qs); q.setQueryType("dismax"); q.setHighlight(true); q.setHighlightFragsize(250); q.set("hl.formatter", "html"); q.set("hl.fragmenter", "regex"); q.setFields("default-search-field", "key"); QueryResponse resp = solr.query(q); I've set up the dismax handler in solrconfig.xml to search the default-search-field. The Solr server logs the following request for this: INFO: [] webapp=/solr path=/select params={hl.fragsize=250&fl=default-search-field,key&hl.fragmenter=regex&q=garbage&hl.formatter=html&qt=dismax&wt=javabin&hl=true&version=1} hits=953 status=0 QTime=39 which looks about right to me, but I don't see any highlighting in the results. I'm clearly missing something pretty fundamental here, and any help would be appreciated. Steve Green
