Creating summary snippets for a null query

Hello,

I'm moving to Solr from another search engine that would always return a
snippet even for any empty/null search.  In the case of an empty/null
search, the first N characters would be returned as the summary snippet.

What would be the best way to configure Solr and index content so that at
least 1 snippet is always returned, even for null *:* search?

It looks like this is happening on the search-lucene.com search --
http://search-lucene.com/?q=*%3A*

How was this accomplished?

Thanks!

Michael

Hi,

Please see hl.alternateField and hl.maxAlternateFieldLength parameters.
