Converting Fast ESP queries(fql) to Solr query syntax

[elmerfudd <na...@012.net.il>]

I would like to perform searches in Solr using queries I extracted from Fast
ESP  . The queries are written in FQL (fast query language) format and I
want to convert them to Solr query syntax . Is there any way to preform a
search like this in Solr? Maybe a tool available? Could not find anything on
the web. 

Thank you.

I doubt there's a tool that would perform a simple conversion: you would 
need to write a query parser and cope with any FQL that doesn't directly 
map to Lucene syntax. We've been doing a similar job with to help 
clients with large numbers of stored queries in dtSearch and Verity 
syntaxes.

At Lucene Revolution I mentioned that we were interested in converting 
other query syntaxes and FQL would certainly be one to consider - 
especially as my co-presenter and colleague Alan Woodward spent many 
years working with FAST ESP. Our presentation is here if you want to
