To follow along with this tutorial, you will need...
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
<li>Java 1.6 or greater. Some places you can get it are from
|
|
<a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">Oracle</a>,
|
|
<a href="http://openjdk.java.net/">Open JDK</a>,
|
|
<a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/">IBM</a>, or
|
|
<br>
|
|
Running <span class="codefrag">java -version</span> at the command line should indicate a version
|
|
number starting with 1.6. Gnu's GCJ is not supported and does not work with Solr.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A <a href="http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/solr/">Solr release</a>.
|
|

|
|

<strong>
|
|
Please run the browser showing this tutorial and the Solr server on the same machine so tutorial links will correctly point to your Solr server.
|
|
</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Begin by unziping the Solr release and changing your working directory
|
|
to be the "<span class="codefrag">example</span>" directory. (Note that the base directory name may vary with the version of Solr downloaded.) For example, with a shell in UNIX, Cygwin, or MacOS:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
user:~solr$ <strong>ls</strong>
|
|
solr-nightly.zip
|
|
user:~solr$ <strong>unzip -q solr-nightly.zip</strong>
|
|
user:~solr$ <strong>cd solr-nightly/example/</strong>
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Solr can run in any Java Servlet Container of your choice, but to simplify
|
|
this tutorial, the example index includes a small installation of Jetty.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To launch Jetty with the Solr WAR, and the example configs, just run the <span class="codefrag">start.jar</span> ...
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
user:~/solr/example$ <strong>java -jar start.jar</strong>

This will start up the Jetty application server on port 8983, and use your terminal to display the logging information from Solr.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can see that the Solr is running by loading <a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/">http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/</a> in your web browser. This is the main starting point for Administering Solr.

Your Solr server is up and running, but it doesn't contain any data. You can
|
|
modify a Solr index by POSTing XML Documents containing instructions to add (or
|
|
update) documents, delete documents, commit pending adds and deletes, and
|
|
optimize your index.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <span class="codefrag">exampledocs</span> directory contains samples of the types of
|
|
instructions Solr expects, as well as a java utility for posting them from the
|
|
command line (a <span class="codefrag">post.sh</span> shell script is also available, but for
|
|
this tutorial we'll use the cross-platform Java client). </p>
|
|
<p> To try this,
|
|
open a new terminal window, enter the exampledocs directory, and run
|
|
"<span class="codefrag">java -jar post.jar</span>" on some of the XML files in that directory,
|
|
indicating the URL of the Solr server:

You can now search for "solr" using the "Make a Query" interface on the Admin screen, and you should get one result.

You may have noticed that even though the file <span class="codefrag">solr.xml</span> has now
|
|
been POSTed to the server twice, you still only get 1 result when searching for
|
|
"solr". This is because the example schema.xml specifies a "uniqueKey" field
|
|
called "<span class="codefrag">id</span>". Whenever you POST instructions to Solr to add a
|
|
document with the same value for the uniqueKey as an existing document, it
|
|
automatically replaces it for you. You can see that that has happened by
|
|
looking at the values for <span class="codefrag">numDocs</span> and <span class="codefrag">maxDoc</span> in the
|
|
"CORE"/searcher section of the statistics page... </p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/stats.jsp">http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/stats.jsp</a>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<strong>numDocs</strong> represents the number of searchable documents in the
|
|
index (and will be larger than the number of XML files since some files
|
|
contained more than one <span class="codefrag"><doc></span>). <strong>maxDoc</strong>
|
|
may be larger as the maxDoc count includes logically deleted documents that
|
|
have not yet been removed from the index. You can re-post the sample XML
|
|
files over and over again as much as you want and numDocs will never
|
|
increase,because the new documents will constantly be replacing the old.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Go ahead and edit the existing XML files to change some of the data, and re-run
|
|
the <span class="codefrag">java -jar post.jar</span> command, you'll see your changes reflected
|
|
in subsequent searches.

|
|
<h3 class="boxed">Deleting Data</h3>
|
|
<p>You can delete data by POSTing a delete command to the update URL and specifying the value
|
|
of the document's unique key field, or a query that matches multiple documents (be careful with that one!). Since these commands
|
|
are smaller, we will specify them right on the command line rather than reference an XML file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Execute the following command to delete a document</p>
|
|
<pre class="code">java -Ddata=args -Dcommit=no -jar post.jar "<delete><id>SP2514N</id></delete>"</pre>
|
|
<p>Now if you go to the <a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/stats.jsp">statistics</a> page and scroll down
|
|
to the UPDATE_HANDLERS section and verify that "<span class="codefrag">deletesById : 1</span>"</p>
|
|
<p>If you search for <a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=id:SP2514N">id:SP2514N</a> it will still be found,
|
|
because index changes are not visible until, and a new searcher is opened. To cause
|
|
this to happen, send a commit command to Solr (post.jar does this for you by default):</p>
|
|
<pre class="code">java -jar post.jar</pre>
|
|
<p>Now re-execute the previous search and verify that no matching documents are found. Also revisit the
|
|
statistics page and observe the changes in both the UPDATE_HANDLERS section and the CORE section.</p>
|
|
<p>Here is an example of using delete-by-query to delete anything with
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=name:DDR&fl=name">DDR</a> in the name:</p>
|
|
<pre class="code">java -Ddata=args -jar post.jar "<delete><query>name:DDR</query></delete>"</pre>
|
|
<p>Commit can be an expensive operation so it's best to make many changes to an index in a batch and
|
|
then send the commit command at the end. There is also an optimize command that does the same thing as commit,
|
|
in addition to merging all index segments into a single segment, making it faster to search and causing any
|
|
deleted documents to be removed. All of the update commands are documented <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages">here</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>To continue with the tutorial, re-add any documents you may have deleted by going to the <span class="codefrag">exampledocs</span> directory and executing</p>
|
|
<pre class="code">java -jar post.jar *.xml</pre>

Searches are done via HTTP GET on the select URL with the query string in the q parameter.
|
|
You can pass a number of optional <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/solr/StandardRequestHandler">request parameters</a>
|
|
to the request handler to control what information is returned. For example, you can use the "fl" parameter
|
|
to control what stored fields are returned, and if the relevancy score is returned...

<h3 class="boxed">Sorting</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Solr provides a simple method to sort on one or more indexed fields.
|
|
Use the 'sort' parameter to specify "field direction" pairs...
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?indent=on&q=video&sort=price+desc">q=video&sort=price desc</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?indent=on&q=video&sort=price+asc">q=video&sort=price asc</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?indent=on&q=video&sort=inStock+asc,price+desc">q=video&sort=inStock asc, price desc</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"score" can also be used as a field name when specifying a sort...
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?indent=on&q=video&sort=score+desc">q=video&sort=score desc</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?indent=on&q=video&sort=inStock+asc,score+desc">q=video&sort=inStock asc, score desc</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Complex functions may also be used to sort results...
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?indent=on&q=*:*&sort=div(popularity,add(price,1))+desc">q=video&sort=div(popularity,add(price,1)) desc</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If no sort is specified, the default is <span class="codefrag">score desc</span> to return the matches having the highest relevancy.
|
|
</p>

<a name="N101D4"></a><a name="Highlighting"></a>
|
|
<h2 class="boxed">Highlighting</h2>
|
|
<div class="section">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Hit highlighting returns relevent snippets of each returned document, and highlights
|
|
keywords from the query within those context snippets.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following example searches for <span class="codefrag">video card</span> and requests
|
|
highlighting on the fields <span class="codefrag">name,features</span>. This causes a
|
|
<span class="codefrag">highlighting</span> section to be added to the response with the
|
|
words to highlight surrounded with <span class="codefrag"><em></span> (for emphasis)
|
|
tags.
|

<p>
|

|
|
<h2 class="boxed">Faceted Search</h2>
|
|
<div class="section">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Faceted search takes the documents matched by a query and generates counts for various
|
|
properties or categories. Links are usually provided that allows users to "drill down" or
|
|
refine their search results based on the returned categories.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following example searches for all documents (<span class="codefrag">*:*</span>) and
|
|
requests counts by the category field <span class="codefrag">cat</span>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?wt=json&indent=on&q=*:*&fl=name&facet=true&facet.field=cat">...&q=*:*&facet=true&facet.field=cat</a>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Notice that although only the first 10 documents are returned in the results list,
|
|
the facet counts generated are for the complete set of documents that match the query.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We can facet multiple ways at the same time. The following example adds a facet on the
|
|
boolean <span class="codefrag">inStock</span> field:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?wt=json&indent=on&q=*:*&fl=name&facet=true&facet.field=cat&facet.field=inStock">...&q=*:*&facet=true&facet.field=cat&facet.field=inStock</a>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Solr can also generate counts for arbitrary queries. The following example
|
|
queries for <span class="codefrag">ipod</span> and shows prices below and above 100 by using
|
|
range queries on the price field.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?wt=json&indent=on&q=ipod&fl=name&facet=true&facet.query=price:[0+TO+100]&facet.query=price:[100+TO+*]">...&q=ipod&facet=true&facet.query=price:[0 TO 100]&facet.query=price:[100 TO *]</a>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
One can even facet by date ranges. This example requests counts for the manufacture date (<span class="codefrag">manufacturedate_dt</span> field) for each year between 2004 and 2010.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?wt=json&indent=on&q=*:*&fl=name,manufacturedate_dt&facet=true&facet.date=manufacturedate_dt&facet.date.start=2004-01-01T00:00:00Z&facet.date.end=2010-01-01T00:00:00Z&facet.date.gap=%2b1YEAR">...&q=*:*&facet=true&facet.date=manufacturedate_dt&facet.date.start=2004-01-01T00:00:00Z&facet.date.end=2010-01-01T00:00:00Z&facet.date.gap=+1YEAR</a>

<div class="section">

Text fields are typically indexed by breaking the field into words and applying various transformations such as
|
|
lowercasing, removing plurals, or stemming to increase relevancy. The same text transformations are normally
|
|
applied to any queries in order to match what is indexed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Example queries demonstrating relevancy improving transformations:</p>
|
|
<ul>

|
<li>A search for

|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?indent=on&q=adata&fl=name">adata</a>
|
|
matches <span class="codefrag">A-DATA</span> due to the use of WordDelimiterFilter and LowerCaseFilter.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|

<li>A search for

<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?indent=on&q=%221 gigabyte%22&fl=name">"1 gigabyte"</a>

matches things with <span class="codefrag">GB</span>, and the misspelled
|
|
<a href="http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?indent=on&q=pixima&fl=name">pixima</a>
