I'm using sunspot and solr for a rails app to search ebook contens, for highlight feature I have to set the ebook_content as a stored filed, every time I queried solr for result, it sends back the entire document content about the book, which makes the query very slow.
How could I only get the result without the stored field?
The fl
parameter of Solr allows you to specify which fields you want returned in the result. If you had fields id, title, ebook_content
, then you could use fl=id,title
to omit the ebook_content
field. I don't think there's support in Solr for getting all fields except one (e.g. -ebook_content
).
Update
If you don't want to return the field in the normal results, but still want highlighting on that field, exclude the field as I described above, then turn on the highlighter:
hl=true
set the field(s) which should be highlighted:
hl.fl=ebook_content
and set the size of the highlighting fragment (in characters):
hl.fragsize=50
your finished query looks something like this:
?q=search term&fl=id,title&hl=true&hl.fl=ebook_content&hl.fragsize=50
