Hi All,

I have problem related to html tag.

Basically in database some column carry html tage, for example"
<p> Hello how are you? </p>
I am indexing same as it is in index.

I am filtering solr supported special character at query time.

now the problem is when I am searching by "p" then result is
*<p> Hello how are you? </p>*
I dont want to search in html tag content?

please help?

You can remove html tags in analysis phase with HTMLStripCharFilterFactory[1]. 
With this, searching p wont return *<p> Hello how are you? </p>* anymore.
But when you search hello, returned document will still contain <p> tags.

If you do not want this behavior ( what only *Hello how are you?* ) and you are using DIH, you can use HTMLStripTransformer[2]
