Searching Questions

[Jake Conk <ja...@gmail.com>]

1) I want to search only within a specific field, for instance
`category`. Is there a way to do this?

2) When searching for multiple results are the following identical
since "*_facet" and "*_facet_mv" have their type's both set to string?

/select?q=tag_facet:%22John+McCain%22+OR+tag_facet:%22Barack+Obama%22
/select?q=tag_facet_mv:%22John+McCain%22+OR+tag_facet_mv:%22Barack+Obama%22

3) If I'm searching for something that is in a text field but I
specify it as a facet string rather than a text type would it still
search within text fields or would it just limit the search to string
fields?

4) Is there a page that will show me different querying combinations
or can someone post some more examples?

5) Anyone else notice returning back the data in php (&wt=phps)
doesn't unserialize? I am using PHP 5.3 w/ a nightly copy of Solr from
last week.

Thanks,
- Jake

You can see some examples of facet use at
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters

just adding ..

#1 search in a specific field:
-----------------------------------------------
it is always possible using 'q.alt' --> e.g u want to search in category
then your query might be like
(u are searching for keyword 'comuters')

      http://localhost:8080/select/?q.alt=(category:(computers))

to search in multiple fields say category and sections


http://localhost:8080/select/?q.alt=(category:(computers)+OR+sections:(computers))

to add boosting to it
     http://localhost:8080/select/?q.alt=(category:(computers)
^2+OR+sections:(computers))
--------------------------------------------------
#3 text field and facets string :
what i have observed is, it will always search in text field as usual (it
won't search it as string ) and your facet will be common strings (single
word or multiple worlds) extracted from the text field and facets count will
be the availability of that particular strings in no of documents.

I am not sure what you mean by 'a facet string' . You facet on fields, SOLR automatically creates facets on those fields based on the results to your query .

Have you check the wiki ? which page do you suggest needs more examples?
