Not sure if that will help do what I want. I'd like something that can be used with a search box that can be used for free-text queries to find items of a specific class.

For example to look for movies it could set to find items of rdf:type http://freebase.com/film/film, where the search terms could be from something like rdfs:label from the movie and rdfs:label from http://freebase.com/film/film/directed_by, http://freebase.com/film/film/produced_by and http://freebase.com/film/film/starring. A query with the terms "Scorsese DiCaprio gangs" might then return, http://freebase.com/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000014e9f1, the movie "Gangs of New York" which has the actor "Leonardo DiCaprio", director "Martin Scorsese" and "gangs" in the title. The point here though is that when the query is executed, it won't know that Scorsese is the director, DiCaprio is an actor and gangs is from the title, just that each of the terms should be in either the movie label, directed_by, produced_by or starring.

Are you telling me that via Solr you can perform a disambiguated full text search?

Did you try putting: Gangs of New York, into the "URI Lookup (By Label)" tab?

If you have a URL for a Solr instance that performs disambiguated search against a full text pattern, please send it to me.


possibly worth noting that I moved *from* SOLR to Virtuoso for precisely this reason (initially) all though now I could give a hundred more (but please don't ask me to list a full 100 reasons).

Nathan,

List the top 5. Or the Top 1 that would trigger a Solr retort URL re claim invalidation :-)

I ask because I am yet to grok how Solr offers any kind of solution to: disambiguated precision search & find, in a Linked Data realm, that comes close to what Virtuoso offers.

SOLR doesn't come close and can't do the disambiguation; moreover its key-value not triple so simply can't hold the eav structures needed to deal with linked data (nor can it "follow the links" which is just slightly critical)

in short I was convinced we needed SOLR, had been using it for ages, imported the data in virtuoso and replaced solr with infinite functionality and ways of querying the data, and didn't loose the search because we just bif:contains - it's also worth noting though that we don't really need search now other than the odd occasion, because everything is LINKed ;)

Best,

Nathan
