parsing the raw query string?

[regany <re...@newzealand.co.nz>]

I've just found solr and am looking at what's involved to work with it. All
the examples I've seen only ever use 1 word search terms being implemented
as examples, which doesn't help me trying to see how multiple word queries
work. It also looks like a hell of a lot of processing needs to be done on
the raw query string even before you can pass it to solr (in PHP) - is
everyone processing the query string first and building a custom call to
solr, or is there a query string parser I've missed somewhere? I can't even
find what operators (if any) are able to be used in the raw query string in
the online docs (maybe there aren't any??). Any help or points in the right
direction would be appreciated.

Hi

If you are planning to use Solr via PHP, you can take a look at the Solr
PECL extension.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.solr.php

which you can download from here

http://pecl.php.net/package/solr

There is a SolrQuery class that allows you to build and manage the
name-value pair parameters which you can then pass on to the SolrClient
object for onward transmission to the Solr server. It is also serializable
so you can cache is in the $_SESSION variable to propagate the parameters
from page to page accross requests.

The SolrQuery class has buillt-in methods to add, update, remove and manage
the Facets, Highlighting, MoreLikeThis, Stats, TermsComponents etc.

I hope this helps.
