When the plain text is extracted from documents, we will often have many words hyphenated and broken into two lines. This is often the case with documents where narrow text columns are used, such as newsletters. In order to increase search efficiency, this filter puts hyphenated words broken into two lines back together. This filter should be used on indexing time only. Example field definition in schema.xml:
<fieldtype name="text" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="index_synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true"/> <filter class="solr.HyphenatedWordsFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldtype>
