Hi, I am new to solr. Could you kindly explain a bit about defining free text search.
In my database I have two columns. One is id another is data. I want my query to spread across multiple fields. When i search for a parameter from id filed, it searches it in both the fields. However whenever I search a parameter from data field, it only searches in data. Below is my query. http://localhost:8983/solr/db/select/?defType=dismax&q=2&qf=data id^2&start=0&rows=11&fl=data,id In my table, id=2 for data=level2. id=4 for data=cashier2. When I search q=2&qf=data id, it searches for '2' in data field also and gives me both the results i.e data=level2 and data=cashier2. However, when i search for q=cashier2&qf=data id, it only gives me result as data=cashier2 and not data=level2 (please note that id=2 for data = level2. Ideally it should break the query into cashier+2 and search in id field as well) Thanks and regards, Romita Saha Panasonic R&D Center Singapore Blk 1022 Tai Seng Avenue #06-3530 Tai Seng Ind. Est.

If what you're after is that your terms (i.e. q=term1 term2) get spread across multiple fields, simply add them to your qf parameter (qf=field1,field2). If you want the terms bound to a particular field, it's just the usual q=field:term, in which case any field term does NOT get spread amongst all the fields in your qf parameter.
