Find out why a document wasn't found

Hi,

I'm looking for a solution to find out why a specific document wasn't found
with my search query.

This should be a solution which can be included in our application to show
the customers how to rework their search queries.

My first idea was:
Search with the query and add to it the document id, then delete the search
terms till the document was found...

It's just a starting idea, but maybe one has a better idea or there is
allready a plugin existing? ;-)

cheers
Charlie

For a specific document, try explainOther, see:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrRelevancyFAQ#Why_doesn.27t_document_id:juggernaut_appear_in_the_top_10_results_for_my_query

Don't quite know whether this will work for your users, you may have to
massage the output to make something more concise. But the information
should be there.

Best
Erick

Hi Oleg,

ah, maybe there is a misunderstanding.
With document I meant a record in the index not a file.
The records are indexed via a DB.

cheers

Hi,
why don't you index the file metadata, i.e. file name for instance. So when
file's metadata is indexed you could start querying by file name.
