How to I go about indexing & searching Chinese text using Solr? I have a pile o' simplified Chinese text encoded in UTF-8. Taking hints from some Solr documentation [1], I have configured my index thusly: <schema name="hui" version="1.6"> <uniqueKey>key</uniqueKey> <!-- local field types --> <fieldType name="string" class="solr.StrField" sortMissingLast="true" docValues="true"/> <fieldType name="long" class="solr.TrieLongField" positionIncrementGap="0" docValues="true" precisionStep="0"/> <!-- chinese indexing configuration happens here --> <fieldType name="text_general" class="solr.TextField"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.HMMChineseTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.CJKWidthFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" words="org/apache/lucene/analysis/cn/smart/stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.PorterStemFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> <!-- good to have fields --> <field name="_root_" type="string" docValues="false" indexed="true" stored="false"/> <field name="_text_" type="text_general" multiValued="true" indexed="true" stored="false"/> <field name="_version_" type="long" indexed="true" stored="false"/> <!-- my fields --> <field name="fulltext" type="text_general" multiValued="false" indexed="true" stored="true" /> <field name="key" type="text_general" multiValued="false" indexed="true" stored="true" /> <!-- cool field --> <copyField source="*" dest="_text_"/> </schema> I then index my content, and as per the Solr Admin interface, my index includes 130 documents. I then have problems searching: * Using the Solr Admin interface, I can search for everything (*:*), and all my results are returned, but the Chinese characters are all mangled. * Using a Lynx (terminal) interface, I can search for everything (*:*), and all my results are returned, but the Chinese characters are all mangled. * Using a Perl interface of my own design, I can search for everything (*:*), and get results and the characters are NOT mangled. * Using the same Perl interface, I try to enter a query using Chinese characters, but I always get zero results. * Using the same Perl interface, I can search for the word "body" (an HTML element I didn't delete), I get expected results. * Using the same Perl interface, I an enter a query using the mangled characters, and I get the sorts of results I expect. I believe I have indexed my documents "correctly", but I can't seem to query the index in the expected manner. What might I be doing wrong?
