[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (SOLR-2724) Deprecate defaultSearchField and defaultOperator defined in schema.xml

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2724?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13240633#comment-13240633 ]

-------------------------------------------------------------

I think I agree with Hoss and Erick here... we're not really gaining anything with this change, and it does seem likely it will cause problems for people upgrading.

edit: I wouldn't treat q.op and defaultField the same way either... I agree w/ Hoss that defaultSearchField seems useful, and I don't even think it should be deprecated or declared bad practice.  I would remove q.op from the example schema (but perhaps retain the code for those who already use it).

> I've always been surprised to see the <defaultSearchField> element and <solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/> defined in the schema.xml file since the first time I saw them.  They just seem out of place to me since they are more query parser related than schema related. But not only are they misplaced, I feel they shouldn't exist. For query parsers, we already have a "df" parameter that works just fine, and explicit field references. And the default lucene query operator should stay at OR -- if a particular query wants different behavior then use q.op or simply use "OR".
> <similarity> Seems like something better placed in solrconfig.xml than in the schema. 
> In my opinion, defaultSearchField and defaultOperator configuration elements should be deprecated in Solr 3.x and removed in Solr 4.  And <similarity> should move to solrconfig.xml. I am willing to do it, provided there is consensus on it of course.
