I am using solr as a search engine. I have a case where a text field contains accent text like "María"
. When user search with "María"
, it is giving resut. But when user search with "Maria"
it is not giving any result.
My schema definition looks like below:
<fieldtype name="my_text" class="solr.TextField">
<analyzer type="Index">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="1" maxGramSize="32" side="front"/>
</analyzer>
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldtype>
Please help to solve this issue.
If you're on solr > 3.x you can try using solr.ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory which will change all the accented characters to their unaccented versions from the basic ascii 127-character set.
Remember to put it after any stemming filter you have configured (you're not using one, so you should be ok).
So your config could look like:
<fieldtype name="my_text" class="solr.TextField">
<analyzer type="Index">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="1" maxGramSize="32" side="front"/>
</analyzer>
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldtype>
Answering here because it's the first result that pop when searching "ignore accents solr".
In the schema.xml
generated by haystack
(and using aldryn_search
, djangocms
& djangocms-blog
), the answer provided by @soulcheck works if you add the <filter class="solr.ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory"/>
line in the text_en
fieldType.
