if you are using a TextField with some analysis components, it's
virtually impossible to get "exact" matches -- where my definition of
exact is that the query text is character for character identical to the
entire field value indexed.
is your definition of exact match different? i assme it must be since you
are using TextField and talk about wanting to deal with whitespace between
words. so i think you need to explain a little bit better what your
indexed data looks like, and what sample queries you expect to match that
data (and equally important: what queries should *not* match thta data,
and what data should *not* match those queries)
: If I want to find *all* Solr documents that match
: "[id]somejunk\hi[/id]" then life is instantly hell.
90% of the time when people have problems with "exact" matches it's
because of QueryParser meta characters -- characters like ":", "[" and
whitespace that the QUeryParser uses as instructions. you can use the
"raw" QParser to have every character treated as a literal....
defType=raw
q=[id]somejunk\hi[/id]
