thank you for the response. it seems to be working well ;)
1) i tried your suggestion about removing the qt parameter - *somecore/partItemNoSearch*&q=dishwasher&debugQuery=on&rows=10 but this results in a 404 error message - is there some configuration i am missing to support this short-hand syntax for specifying the requestHandler in the url ? 2) ok - good suggestion. 3) yes it looks like it IS searching across all three (3) fields. i noticed that for the itemNo field, it reduced the search string from dishwasher to dishwash - it this because of stemming on the field type, used for the itemNo field? <lst name="debug"><str name="rawquerystring">dishwasher</str><str name="querystring">dishwasher</str><str name="parsedquery">+DisjunctionMaxQuery((brand:dishwasher^0.5 | *itemNo:dishwash* | productType:dishwasher^0.8))</str><str name="parsedquery_toString">+(brand:dishwasher^0.5 | itemNo:dishwash | productType:dishwasher^0.8)</str> -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/searching-across-multiple-fields-using-edismax-am-i-setting-this-up-right-tp3906334p3907875.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
