No search result behavior (a la Amazon)
It appears to me that Amazon is using a 100% minimum match policy. If there
are no matches, they break down the original search terms and give
suggestion search results.
example:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ipod+nano+4th+generation+8gb+blue+calcium&x=0&y=0
Can Solr natively achieve something similar? If not, can you suggest a way
to achieve this? A custom RequestHandler?
Thanks!

There isn't a way. The best way to do it is to issue multiple queries
to Solr.

Thanks. I understand what Amazon is doing. The original question is how to
achieve this with Solr. And to be more specific, how to achieve this within
Solr and not involve multiple search queries to Solr.

Seemed like its first search required match all terms.
If it could not find it, like you motioned, you broke down into multiple
smaller term set and ran search to get total hit for each smaller term
set, sort the results by total hits, and display summary page.
Searching for "A B C" would be
1. q= +A +B +C Match all terms
2. q= +A +B -C Match A and B but not C
3. q =+A -B +C
4. q = ....

I understand how to do the "100% mm" part. It's the behavior when there
are no matches that i'm asking about :)

Have a look at DisMaxRequestHandler and play with mm (miminum terms
should match)

It appears to me that Amazon is using a 100% minimum match policy. If
there are no matches, they break down the original search terms and give
suggestion search results.
example:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywor
ds=ipod+nano+4th+generation+8gb+blue+calcium&x=0&y=0
Can Solr natively achieve something similar? If not, can you suggest a
way to achieve this? A custom RequestHandler?
Thanks!
