Solr Search For MediumText field

I am using solr successfully with asp.net however I have a new search I need to create based on a mediumtextfield in mysql. I need to search that entire field against the index.

Is there a best-practice approach for this? e.g. to select keywords from the mediumtext field first?

Thanks.

  • Sounds like you're going to have to remove common words to get a decent hit rate. You could use the StopWords functionality and a list like http://www.lextek.com/manuals/onix/stopwords1.html

    Once this done then matter of picking a search strategy that you think will work best based on test data?

    Good Luck :)
