Rules for pre-processing queries
Hi all, I need to refine my search results by adding parameters to search query parameters. For example, if user enters "ipad", I want to add a filter query such as ("category=tablets") to refine the search results. I thought a more general solution would be to define rules, that examine the query parameter values, and can alter or add to the query parameters. Short of writing custom code, are there any features within Solr or add-on tools that can do something like this?
Regards,
Mak

Hello Siamak.
You may also want to have a look at 3 related articles, the 3rd part being:
http://lucidworks.com/blog/query-autofiltering-extended-language-logic-search/
I would start from the 1st part.
Hope this helps a bit.

Upayavira, wow! Didn’t think it'd work that well, and would be so easy to do! I do have a predefined list, so synonyms work great! Thanks!

Do you have a predefined list of such filters?
You can do fun things with synonyms: define an ipad->tablet synonym, and use it at query time. Filter out all non-synonym terms in your query time analysis chain, and then use that field as a filter.
