Right, a SearchComponent wrapper around some of the Solr Cell capabilities could make this so.

Solr Cell definitely sounds like it has a place here. But wouldn't it be
needed for as an extracting component earlier in the process for the
MoreLikeThisHandler? The MLT Handler works great when it's directed to a content stream of plain text. If we could just use Solr Cell to identify the file type and do the content extraction earlier in the stream that would do the trick I think. Then whether the URL pointed to HTML, a PDF, or whatever,
MLT would be receiving a stream of extracted content.

It's starting to sound like Solr Cell needs a SearchComponent as well, that can come before the QueryComponent and can be used to map into the other components. Essentially, take the functionality of the extractOnly option
and have it feed other SearchComponent.

I'm using the MoreLikeThisHandler with a content stream to get documents
from my index that match content from an html page like this:

http://localhost:8080/solr/mlt?stream.url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi
?f=/c/a/2009/08/06/ SP5R194Q13.DTL&mlt.fl=body&rows=4&debugQuery=true

But, not surprisingly, the query generated is meaningless because a lot
of
the markup is picked out as terms:
<str name="parsedquery_toString">
body:li body:href  body:div body:class body:a body:script body:type
body:js
body:ul body:text body:javascript body:style body:css body:h body:img
body:var body:articl body:ad body:http body:span body:prop
</str>

Does anyone know a way to transform the html so that the content can be parsed out of the content stream and processed w/o the markup? Or do I
need
to write my own HTMLParsingMoreLikeThisHandler?


You'd want to parse the HTML to extract only text first, and use that for
your index data.

Both the Nutch and Tika OSS projects have examples of using HTML parsers (based on TagSoup or CyberNeko) to generate content suitable for indexing.

If I parse the content out to a plain text file and point the stream.url
param to file:///parsedfile.txt it works great.
