Hello all. I've been looking through some old questions and answers and didn't quite see what I was looking for.
I have a client using a third party piece of software that leverages solr for some global-search type capabilities. The user can enter any search string and we want to return any documents of any type that have a match on the search string, checking any fields in the document. Quoted strings should return an exact match. So in their examples, searching for Joe Smith, unquoted, could return customers with the name Joe Smith or Emily Smith or Joe Jones, etc. But if it were quoted, then we only want the exact match "Joe Smith" or, I guess, "Joe Smithland" or something. The problem we're having is that the unquoted search returns everything correctly, quoted strings with two search terms seem okay, but a quoted search string with multiple terms like "Lead to Succeed" fails. We're trying to have it return the document "Lead to Succeed Inc, DBA". Perhaps its failing because it's only a partial match?? But even if I search for the quoted string "Lead to Succeed Inc, DBA", I do not get a match. There are no stopwords. There are no synonyms. Now unfortunately I don't have access to the solr admin UI because the customer put it behind a firewall and won't give me access. So that's fun. But I've been playing around with the query URL just trying to get anything to work and I can't. So for example: https://localhost:8343/MyAppURL/rest/solr/select?q=LEAD%2520TO%2520SUCCEED&rows=100&start=0&wt=json returns 107 matches, including one with the name we're looking for. but https://localhost:8343/MyAppURL/rest/solr/select?q=%2522LEAD%2520TO%2520SUCCEED%2522&rows=100&start=0&wt=json returns 0 matches I've tried replacing %2520 with %26%26 or %2526%2526 (&&) or with %2B or %252B (+) but no luck there either -- whether I include the quotes or not. I know there's a debug parameter &debug=all or &debugQuery=true but when I include those terms in my URL nothing changes at all in the results. So I'm just not seeing the debug output. It there something else I need to do to enable it? If this is a matter of needing a "fuzzier" match, how do I include that in the search query URL -- it wasn't clear to me from the documentation? Many many thanks!
