Issue with Search when using wildcard(*) in search term.

[payalsharma <pa...@yahoo.com>]

Hi All,

I am searching a term on Solr by using wildcard character "*" like this :
    
http://delpearsonwebapps:8080/apache-solr-1.3.0/core510000043/select/?q=alle*

here the search term(word) is : alle*
This query gives me proper result , but as i give dismaxrequest as parameter
in the query , no results are returned , query with dismax parameter goes
like this :

http://delpearsonwebapps:8080/apache-solr-1.3.0/core510000043/select/?q=alle*&qt=dismaxrequest


Can anybody let me know the reason behind this behavior, also do I need to
make any changes in my SolrConfig.XML  in order to make the query run with
both Wildcard as well as dismaxrequest.

Thanks in advance.

Payal

Dismax doesnt work with wildcards does it? I think its just +/-/AND/OR.

I'm pretty sure "*" isn't supported by DisMax.

"This query handler supports an extremely simplified subset of the
Lucene QueryParser syntax. Quotes can be used to group phrases, and +/-
can be used to denote mandatory and optional clauses ... but all other
Lucene query parser special characters are escaped to simplify the user
experience......"
