eDisMax handler but with main query not allowing fielded/non-localparam values

[Alexandre Rafalovitch <ar...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am building a Search Interface in front of Solr. I am using facets and
other approaches to do fielded restrictions (via fq queries). I am also
providing a free-form search field to the user.

I would like that free-form field to search against eDisMax rules (multiple
source fields, phrase boosting, mm param, etc). But I don't want (for
security reasons) to let the user to enter Solr-specific features like
localparams or fielded search.

Is that possible? Am I missing something obvious?

Regards,
   Alex.

I just tested and UF seems to affect FQ (Filter Query). So, that would have
been a cool hack but unfortunately it is not.

Other options are possible, but more mid-term solution. I will think of
those if there is no other way.

Thank you,
   Alex.

Either preprocess the query in your application layer, add a query 
preprocessor custom search component, or propose some additional options to 
Solr to disable certain features like local params nested queries, etc.

Oh, with fielded search, maybe you can just set "uf" (user fields) to empty. 
I haven't checked if that restricts qf as well.
