Re: Re: SOLRPro part word matches + can you search for "all" records?

> On a slightly different topic is there a way to get SOLR Pro to return “all” records without passing a search term? I have SOLR Pro indexing course information and I wanted the ability to show someone all courses available at location xyz without needing a search term. I’ve got SOLRPro storing a couple of extra fields (locations and industries etc.) and when a visitor selects a location from a dropdown list the location information is being sent to SOLR Pro by creating an “fq” filter in an array and passing it via the customParams parameter.  The issue at the moment is that they must also use a search term.



To search for all records in Solr, you use the wildcard *:* for the search term.

I dont think it will return partial matches, but for workds like account/accounts/accouting, those matches should work (it is called stemming, it breaks the word down to the stem, account, to find matches) without you having to add them as synonyms.

For example I have content indexed that has the word “accounting” and “accounts” in the body.  If I do a search for “accou” I get no results (but do get the suggestion to try “account”).  I’ve tried with various wildcards but I never get any results.  Is there something I need to change in the schema or other configuration files?
