[jira] Commented: (SOLR-380) There's no way to convert search results into page-level hits of a "structured document".

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-380?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12837035#action_12837035 ] 

Chris Harris commented on SOLR-380:
-----------------------------------

This is an interesting patch. One current limitation seems to be that proximity search queries (PhraseQueries and SpanQueries) may result in false positives. For example, if I query

bq. "audit trail"~10

then I think I'd expect Solr to return only the page #s where audit and trail are near one another. (Yes, what I just said leaves some wiggle room for implementation details.) The current code, in contrast, looks like it will report all the pages where "audit" and "trail" occur, regardless of proximity to the other term.

Has anyone thought about how to add proximity awareness?

> "Paged-Text" FieldType for Solr
> A chance to dig into the guts of Solr. The problem: If we index a monograph in Solr, there's no way to convert search results into page-level hits. The solution: have a "paged-text" fieldtype which keeps track of page divisions as it indexes, and reports page-level hits in the search results.
> The input would contain page milestones: <page id="234"/>. As Solr processed the tokens (using its standard tokenizers and filters), it would concurrently build a structural map of the item, indicating which term position marked the beginning of which page: <page id="234" firstterm="14324"/>. This map would be stored in an unindexed field in some efficient format.
> At search time, Solr would retrieve term positions for all hits that are returned in the current request, and use the stored map to determine page ids for each term position. The results would imitate the results for highlighting, something like:
> <lst name="pages">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;<lst name="doc1">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                <int name="pageid">234</int>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                <int name="pageid">236</int>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        </lst>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        <lst name="doc2">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                <int name="pageid">19</int>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        </lst>
> </lst>
> <lst name="hitpos">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        <lst name="doc1">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                <lst name="234">
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                        <int name="pos">14325</int>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;                </lst>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        </lst>
> &nbsp;&nbsp;        ...
> </lst>
