With edismax in Solr 3.6/4.0 field aliases are supported:

"The syntax for aliasing is f.myalias.qf=realfield. A user query for myalias:foo will be queried as realfield:foo."

Subject: How to use/create an alias to a field?

Hello

I am using Lucene 3.4 and I have nearly the same question like Jan in his post:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-java-user/200801.mbox/%3C4791E482.60900%40gmx.de%3E


I could found something helpful in "Lucene in Action" or in the web.
What is the recommended way to create an alias to a field?
I want be able to use in the searchquery "au:some_name" or "auth:some_name" or "author:some_name", all using the field "author".

Many thanks in advance for any help or recommendations
Willi : )
