Searching for digits with strings

[Alireza Salimi <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a built in solution in Solr so that you can
search for documents with digits by their string representations.
i.e. search for 'two' would match fields which have '2' token and vice
versa.

Thanks

Hi,

as far as I know Solr does not provide such a feature. If you cannot make any assumptions on the numbers, choose an appropriate library that is able to transform between numerical and non-numerical representations and populate the search field with both versions at index-time.

Hi,

Well that's the only solution I got so far and it would work for most of
the cases,
but l thought there might be some better solutions.

Thanks

How many numbers? 0-9? Or every number under the sun?

You could achieve a limited number by using synonyms, 0 is a synonym for
nought and zero, etc.
