[jira] Commented: (SOLR-1384) Allow fq or q to specify boolean query min must match like dismax's mm parameter

["Hoss Man (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1384?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12750178#action_12750178 ] 

Hoss Man commented on SOLR-1384:
--------------------------------

I haven't looked at the match, but if anything the param should be "minShouldMatch" not "minMustMatch" ... the word "Should" is a noun in this case ... it refers to the fact that the underlying clauses are "SHOULD" clauses ... not "MUST" clauses.

Off the top of my head: if this is really something people think should be generally supported for all types of queries, then SolrQueryParser seems like the right place to do it, adding anew setDefaultMinShouldMatch method that changes the behavior of all BooleanQuery objects produced -- then LuceneQParserPlugin would just look at the params and set the option on the parser appropriately.

FYI: once upon a time, there was talk in Lucene-Java about extending the syntax to lete you specify this in the query string, using something like...

{code}
  (boolcluase1 boolclause2 boolclause3)~2
{code}

...hence the reason i suggest thinking of this as a _default_ minshould match on the parser ... some syntaxes in subclasses might override it.

> Dis max query provides "mm" parameter that can be set on the underlying Lucene Boolean OR query using setMinimumNumberShouldMatch()  method.
> It will be great if we can have the same support on any fq or q that specifies more than one term. This means we don't need to switch to dis max query just for this one use case.
> Example might look like this:
> fq={!minMustMatch=75%}street:"917 Z st NW Washington DC"
> Full supported syntax for the value allowed should be this:
> http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/util/doc-files/min-should-match.html
> This is the underlying lucene facility:
> http://www.netlikon.de/docs/javadoc-lucene/lucene_1_9/org/apache/lucene/search/BooleanQuery.html#setMinimumNumberShouldMatch%28int%29
