Description

I'm experiencing problem when I try to use Context Filtering with auto suggester. What I want is to filter the suggestions based on url field

Here is my searchComponent:

 <lst name="suggester">
 <str name="name">AnalyzingInfixSuggester</str>
 <str name="lookupImpl">AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory</str>
 <str name="dictionaryImpl">DocumentDictionaryFactory</str>
 <str name="field">main_title</str>
 <str name="weightField">main_title</str>
 <str name="contextField">url</str>
 <str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">text_general</str>
 </lst>

Here are the fields in my schema:

<field name="main_title" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
 <field name="url" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>

Example: I'm searching for "aacsb" and I have two results, which is correct. One is in English and one in German. I want to filter them out and show only the German result.

My urls looks like this:

 https://www.myWebsite.com/aacsb-dog-lion?german
 https://www.myWebsite.com/aacsb-dog-lion?english

Here are my queries:

http://localhost:8983/solr/myCore/suggest?&q=aacsb&suggest.dictionary=AnalyzingInfixSuggester&suggest.cfq=-url:english

http://localhost:8983/solr/myCore/suggest?&q=aacsb&suggest.dictionary=AnalyzingInfixSuggester&suggest.cfq=-english

With these I'm receiving both results. It doesn't matter if we have the field name or not.

When I tried these

http://localhost:8983/solr/myCore/suggest?&q=aacsb&suggest.dictionary=AnalyzingInfixSuggester&suggest.cfq=url:\*english\*

http://localhost:8983/solr/myCore/suggest?&q=aacsb&suggest.dictionary=AnalyzingInfixSuggester&suggest.cfq=\*english\*

I don't receive any results.

I read the documentation several times: LINK, but I still can't make it work.

Any help is welcomed.

Thanks!
