[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-4457) Queries ending in question mark interpreted as wildcard

["Jan Høydahl (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4457?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13698461#comment-13698461 ] 

Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-4457:
-----------------------------------

Any comments on this? First implementation could be a new eDismax config parameter {{maskTrailingQmark}}. If set to true (default=false) then a trailing "?" would be removed - but only if query consists of 3 or more terms.

This would be a simple fix until we get more flexible QParsers which could allow this as pluggable extensions for all parsers.

> For many search applications, queries ending in a question mark such as {{foo bar?}} would *not* mean a search for a four-letter word starting with {{bar}}. Neither will it mean a literal search for a question mark.
> The query parsers should have an option to discard trailing question mark before passing to analysis.
