aka. Did You Mean ReSearcher
- Compatibility: Solr 1.3.*, 1.4.*, 3.*, 4.0-dev
- Version: 1.3.2
Sematext's DYM ReSearcher (DYMRS) is a Solr component that
improves search experience.
It executes
alternative queries when it detects that original queries
produced poor results or no results at all due to spelling
mistakes or typos in entered queries and transparently returns
better search results to the client. DYMRS exposes over
half a dozen tunable parameters in Solr's solrconfig.xml. These
parameters control DYMRS's behavior, such as: the heuristic for
detecting bad queries and bad results, generation of alternative
queries, selection of the best alternative result set, etc.
