Getting only fields that match

[Norbert Hartl <no...@hartl.name>]

Hi,

I'm new to solr. I toyed around a little with solr 
while searching for a search server with lucene. I
saw a lot of things that can be done with solr but
I missed one feature that I need.

I like the search result to include only the fields
that matched the search. Is this possible? I only 
saw the field spec where you can have a certain set
of fields or all. 

regards,

Norbert

Norbert,

Other than though "explain query" method I don't think we have any mechanism to figure out which field(s) exactly a query matched.

no, it doesn't. I want to have the following:

Doc1
  field one = super test text
  field two = something 
  field three = another thing

Doc2
  field one = even other stuff
  field zzz = this is a test

Searching for test I want to retrieve

Doc1
  field one 
Doc2
  field zzz

So I want only retrieve the fields that match the search
(test in this case)

I hope this makes it clear.

Having another look on your proposal I can see you might
be right :) Seems to me to be most doable approach by now, too.

thanks,

Norbert

Are you looking for highlighting (snippets)?

http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HighlightingParameters

A Field can be indexed (searchable) or stored (retrievable) or both. When
you make a query to Solr, you yourself specify which fields it needs to
search on. If they are stored, you can ask to retrieve those fields only.
Not sure if that answers your question.
