Solr not searching (Very basic example)

3
votes

Solr version : 4.2.1

Objective:
I am trying to get a very simplistic Solr example off the ground

So far:
Installed solr
Was able to run the example\tutorial successfully http://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_2_1/tutorial.html

Next:
Now I am trying to create my own schema
I have created a schema : http://pastebin.com/vj4ATa8d
And a Test Doc:http://pastebin.com/7fvZ5GTQ
I have added the doc to Solr using the command
java -jar post.jar testdoc.xml

What’s working:
In Solr Admin- I can see the schema
I can see one document uploaded
I can go to Admin console and query as follows:
Specify q as “:”. This works- shows the document 

http://localhost:8983/solr/collection2/select?q=*%3A*&wt=xml&indent=true

What does not work:
If I give q as Nashua- I see no results
This is the default search field
Other attributes didn't work either

http://localhost:8983/solr/collection2/select?q=Nashua&wt=xml&indent=true

The debug response http://pastebin.com/fTneyEba

You need to either copy your fields into the default search field (in this case text) or qualify your query with the field you want to search against:

.../select?q=city:Nashua&wt=xml&indent=true

Things to read up on:

  1. Default Search Field
  2. Copy Fields

Both are documented here:
