For example if you were to search for "Spend over £25,000 - NHS Leeds" then it would not come up with the dataset with that exact name. It was excluding datasets with the word "NHS" due to the dash/minus sign. It works fine if you escape the minus sign: "Spend over £25,000 \- NHS Leeds". </p> <p> So in data.gov.uk I've added escaping of such control characters in our plugin and this useful routine: </p> <p> <a class="ext-link" href="http://fragmentsofcode.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/escape-special-characters-for-solrlucene-query/"><span class="icon">​</span>http://fragmentsofcode.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/escape-special-characters-for-solrlucene-query/</a> </p> <p> Perhaps you would consider providing this in CKAN core in future? </p> <p> I think there is an occasional case when power users would want to use the special characters - brackets, +, -, boolean operators etc. but maybe these could be reserved for an 'advanced search' screen? </p> Results http://localhost/ticket/2585#changelog http://localhost/ticket/2962 http://localhost/ticket/2962 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:50:22 GMT dominik <p> Could be done by: </p> <ul><li>using the solr distributed search <ul><li>difficult set up </li></ul></li><li>merging result sets from apis <ul><li>make sure that results can be merged properly (score, facets, ...) </li></ul></li></ul> Results http://localhost/ticket/2962#changelog
