I use solr to search for documents and when trying to search for documents using this query "id:*", I get this query parser exception telling that it cannot parse the query with * or ? as the first character. HTTP Status 400 - org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse 'id:*': '*' or '?' not allowed as first character i...
Assume that I have a field called price for the documents in Solr and I have that field faceted. I want to get the facets as ranges of values (eg: 0-100, 100-500, 500-1000, etc). How to do it? I can specify the ranges beforehand, but I also want to know whether it is possible to calculate the ranges (say for 5 values) automatically base...
I'm looking to find alternatives to Solr from the Apache Software Foundation. For those that don't know, Solr is an enterprise search server. A client application uses a web-services like interface to submit documents for indexing and also to perform search queries. Solr has other features built in like caching and replication. I belie...
I've got nutch and lucene setup to crawl and index some sites and I'd like to use a .net website instead of the JSP site that comes with nutch. Can anyone recommend some solutions? I've seen solutions where there was an app running on the index server which the .Net site used remoting to connect to. Speed is a consideration obviously ...

I'm using Solr and wish to be able to log queries/tokens to a database for analytics for both marketing and suggested search functionality. I'm guessing that a Lucene filter would be a good way of doing this, maybe putting a filter in the query filter chain for a given field type which logs to a specified database. I'm wondering the bes...

What is a good crawler (spider) to use against HTML and XML documents (local or web-based) and that works well in the Lucene / Solr solution space? Could be Java-based but does not have to be. ...
I'm looking into using Lucene and/or Solr to provide search in an RDBMS-powered web application. Unfortunately for me, all the documentation I've skimmed deals with how to get the data out of the index; I'm more concerned with how to build a useful index. Are there any "best practices" for doing this? ...
I would like to implement a search engine which should crawl a set of web sites, extract specific information from the pages and create full-text index of that specific information. It seems to me that Xapian could be a good choice for the search engine library. What are the options for a crawler/parser to integrate with Xapian? Would...

Hello, I posted this message to the Solr mailing list, but I'm trying here too in case there's a Solr expert lurking around. I am trying to use the regex fragmenter and am having a hard time getting the results I want. I am trying to get fragments that start on a word character and end on punctuation, but for some reason the fragments ...
I'd like to have a single instance of Solr, protected by some sort of authentication, that operated against different indexes based on the credentials used for that authentication. The type of authentication is flexible, although I'd prefer to work with open standards (existing or emerging), if possible. The core problem I'm attempting ...
In our application we're using acts_as_solr for search. Everything seems to be running smoothly except for the fact that using the model name as the search query returns every single row in the table. For example, let's say we have a users table. We specify acts_as_solr in our model to search the fields first name, last name and hand...

We're currently running MySQL on a LAMP stack and have been looking at implementing a more thorough, full-text search on our site. We've looked at MySQL's own freetext search, but it doesn't seem to cope well with large databases, which makes it far too slow for our needs. Our main requirements are: speed returning results simple upd...
