Solr Query Language

[Jack L <jl...@yahoo.ca>]

Is the lucene query syntax available in solr? I saw this page
about lucene query syntax:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html

I tried "width:[0 TO 500]" and got an exception:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "TO500"
        at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48)
        at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:447)
        at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:497)

If solr query language is different from that of Lucene, is
there a page that documents this?

If you don't specify a field, your client will use this code:

Query query = new TermQuery( new Term("", "ethics") );

This is legal, but you will get no hits, as there's not field "". Also see 
the Lucene FAQ at
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ#head-3558e5121806fb4fce80fc022d889484a9248b71

Thanks to all that responded!  This did the trick.  I used
admin/analysis.jsp to determine how solr indexed my data and how solr parses
my query.  I used a QueryParser and applied the same filters to my query,
and now my results match exactly.

Thanks again!

What kind of analyzer do you use when indexing that field? If you have
a stemmer, for example, "ethics" might be indexed without the ending
"s".

The best way to debug such problems is with the analyzer admin tool:
http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/analysis.jsp - that page will show
you how your field is processed while indexing.

strange results from lucene

[Bill Tantzen <ta...@tc.umn.edu>]

Hi all!

I have a simple java search client with which I am querying the index
created by solr.  Most of the time, I am seeing consistent results - in
other words, when my query is 'title:dog' with my client, I get 46 matching
documents, and when I have a 'q=title:dog' in the solr url, I also get 46
matching documents as I would expect.

However, when I search with 'q=ethics' in solr, I get almost 10,000 matches.
With my client, I get 0.  What is going on here?  Is the clue here that the
word 'ethics' appears with relatively high frequency?

The simple client I refer to looks like so:

public class SolrSearch {

    private static String indexDir =
        "/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.20/conf/solr/data/index";

    // ================================================================
    public static void main( String[] args ) throws IOException {

        IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher( indexDir );
        Query query = new TermQuery( new Term( args[0], args[1] ) );
        System.out.println ( "query: " + query.toString() );
        Hits hits = searcher.search( query );

        System.out.println( "search for " + args[1] + " within "  + args[0]
);
        System.out.println( hits.length() + " matching entries" );
}

If anyone can help me see the error of my ways, I will appreciate it!

Cheers,
Bill

The syntax depends on the request handler used, if you're using the
standard one the docs are at

It looks like (from the exception) that you missed a space.
Perhaps your actual query was constructed like:
String query = "width:[" + lowWidth + " TO" + highWidth +"]"; 
Where you *wanted*
String query = "width:[" + lowWidth + " TO " + highWidth +"]";
