Removing terms from a search query with no results

[Varun Thacker <va...@gmail.com>]

I'm using edismax and the default operator is AND.

Now suppose i search for "foo bar" and there are 0 results for it but there
a results for "foo" then show results for "foo".

This is same as the feature on search engines where it says No results
found for "foo bar" and Showing results for "foo".


Is there a component which has this functionality?

Not at this time. That is something you would do at your app level - 
re-query with a looser query if zero results for the original query.

Hi Varun,

I don't think this exists in Solr...

But have a look at http://sematext.com/products/dym-researcher/index.html .
 Look at the screenshot and you will spot something labeled as "Relaxer" in
the blue area.  This (Query) Relaxer is DYM ReSearcher's cousin and can be
seen in action on http://search-lucene.com/ .

Let's try with a typo in your name:
http://search-lucene.com/?q=varun+thicker

Here's another interesting variant with a phrase:
http://search-lucene.com/?q=%22hi+varun+thacker%22

Or:
http://search-lucene.com/?q=thisisbogus+solr+cloud

Is this the behaviour you are looking for?

Otis
