SOLR configuration for search tokenization

[abhinavmishra14 · Accepted solution]

@venur Been curious about this and have had some time spent on this issue in last couple of weeks. I think, i have a solution that may fit your case. It works for me in few tests that i did. 

It is based on the links i shared above. 

Here is what i did:

• In your $SOLR_HOME\alfresco\conf (you may have a different setup) you need to add following configs to tweak the tokenization process, e.g. "C:\alfresco-search-services\solrhome\alfresco\conf" 
  • Create a file named "Latin-break-only-on-whitespace.rbbi" in $SOLR_HOME\alfresco\conf
  • Add following content:

!!forward;

$Whitespace = [\p{Whitespace}];
$NonWhitespace = [\P{Whitespace}];
$Letter = [\p{Letter}];
$Number = [\p{Number}];

# Default rule status is {0}=RBBI.WORD_NONE => not tokenized by ICUTokenizer
$Whitespace;

# Assign rule status {200}=RBBI.WORD_LETTER when the token contains a letter char
# Mapped to <ALPHANUM> token type by DefaultICUTokenizerConfig
$NonWhitespace* $Letter $NonWhitespace*   {200};

# Assign rule status {100}=RBBI.WORD_NUM when the token contains a numeric char
# Mapped to <NUM> token type by DefaultICUTokenizerConfig
$NonWhitespace* $Number $NonWhitespace*   {100};

# Assign rule status {1} (no RBBI equivalent) when the token contains neither a letter nor a numeric char
# Mapped to <OTHER> token type by DefaultICUTokenizerConfig
$NonWhitespace+   {1};

• Create a file named "characters.txt" in $SOLR_HOME\alfresco\conf
  • Add following content:

_ => ALPHA 
- => ALPHA 
$ => ALPHA 
! => ALPHA 

• Edit the $SOLR_HOME/alfresco/schema.xml
  • find the "fieldType" with below analyzer settings:
    • <fieldType name="text___" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" indexed="true" stored="false">
  • Update the tokenizer settings "<tokenizer class="solr.ICUTokenizerFactory" ....>" as below:

    • <fieldType name="text___" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" indexed="true" stored="false">
            <analyzer>
              <charFilter class="solr.PatternReplaceCharFilterFactory" pattern="\x{0000}.*\x{0000}" replacement=""/>
              <charFilter class="solr.PatternReplaceCharFilterFactory" pattern="(#0;.*#0;)" replacement=""/>
              <tokenizer class="solr.ICUTokenizerFactory" rulefiles="Latn:Latin-break-only-on-whitespace.rbbi"/>
              <!-- <tokenizer class="org.apache.solr.analysis.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory" /> -->
              <filter class="org.apache.solr.analysis.WordDelimiterFilterFactory"
                      generateWordParts="1"
                      generateNumberParts="1"
                      catenateWords="1"
                      catenateNumbers="1"
                      catenateAll="1"
                      splitOnCaseChange="1"
                      splitOnNumerics="1"
                      preserveOriginal="1"
                      stemEnglishPossessive="1"
      		types="characters.txt"/>
              <filter class="solr.ICUFoldingFilterFactory"/>
            </analyzer>
          </fieldType>

If you want to configure same settings for archite store, then follow the same steps for "$SOLR_HOME\archive\conf".

Note: You will have to full re-index in order to allow these setting handle the tokennization.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very very much @abhinavmishra14 for support, this work. We are not able to implement it so far so left it. but your solution work. We did full re-index also as you said.
