linux debian testing / LL(ighthttpd)MP stack with drupal as the web frontend
Description
I was looking into a search not working from the frontend and I wanted to check on how the data was inserted. I was unable to run any proper query that provides useful results other than :.
Even more, when I followed the links from the schema browser from the Top Results for the field I was interested in querying, I was redirected to the query and again no results although there's obviously some because they appear as top results on the search page.
By speaking with steffkes in #irc, he pointed out that the field name in question had a colon in its name, like:
"fieldname:name"
So the search ended up being
q=fieldname:name:DATA
He suggested to escape the colon as fieldname\:name, but that made no difference.
In the end, there was a setting in the drupal plugin I am using (https://drupal.org/project/search_api_solr) that mentioned about cleaning the field ids to remove that colon in the field name, which I tried, and then I coiuld properly use the web ui to query results. New field name is fieldname$name.
I quote a bit of the README from that module related to this:
"This will change the Solr field names used for all
fields whose Search API identifiers contain a colon (i.e., all nested fields)
to support some advanced functionality, like sorting by distance, for which
Solr is buggy when using field names with colons.
"
