How to install for Solr 1.4 ( or 1.4.1 ) Extended Dismax ( edismax) plugin and how to configure it ?

Question

Hello everybody,

Im using Solr1.4 , with dismax SearchHandler , im new in solr ;), it seems not supporting lucene synthax , it does not even match lowercase uppercase terms ( if you know how to do this it will be helpfull ).

i want to try the edismax , ( Extended Dismax ) with solr 1.4 or 1.4.1 , i found it in solr4.0 dev version , there is not a lot of documentation about it .

im using solr with windows server .

it's possible to patch my current version to use edismax ?? what about edismax configuration , it uses the same params as the standard dismax ?

thank you very much.

J.

Since edismax is an experimental, not-yet-finished feature, you'll have to get the Lucene/Solr source code, and build it.

Again because this is not released, your only documentation are the JIRA comments and source code.
