[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=14583125#comment-14583125 ] 

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

Another option is perhaps to rewrite {{abcd?}} as {{(abcd OR abcd?^0)}} so that you'll both match the word literally and get the wildcard match, but with lower rank. Then this could be applied for all tokens in the input ending with {{?}}, not only the very last word. This should ideally be done after parsing to avoid edismax falling back to boolean mode. At first thought this feels a bit too complex - comments?

> 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.
