eZ Find / Solr config for partial search on latin chars

Friday 13 May 2011 8:16:29 am

Hi,

We have an install with eZ find 2.3 configured with ReversedWildcardFilterFactory. It works good on partial wildcard searches, but we still have issues when searching for words that starts with an latin character, when the query is to, three or four characters long.

An example:

We have indexed an object named Ølbolle

Query - result:

øl - no result

ølb - no result

ølbo - no result

ølbol - no result

ølboll - ølbolle

ølbolle - ølbolle

When searchin for word starting with non-latin characters, this is not an issue.

Our indez-analyser is set up as follows:

<analyzer type="index">

<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>


<filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true" />


<filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/>


<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="ISOLatin1AccentFilterFactory"/>

<filter class="solr.ReversedWildcardFilterFactory" withOriginal="true" maxPosAsterisk="3" maxPosQuestion="2" maxFractionAsterisk="0.33"/>
</analyzer>

Any experience / suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi Paul,

thanks for your reply.

The reason why we have added wildcards, is that we found this as the only solution for partial search for both first and last part of a word. It actually works well, exept for latin chars.

Ill try your suggestion on removing the ISOLatin1AccentFilterFactory.

We have already removed the SnowballPorterFilterFactory from the query part in our schema.xml.

Ill send you our schema.xml, thanks for taking a look!

Best regards

Bjørnar
