Search Last Four Numbers in a Given Number - search

I am trying to search and match last four numbers against a 10 digit number.
Example
7154226465
7152436464
7152348464
If I search for 646, it should match first two numbers. To be precise, I am looking for suffix search that matches against last 4 digits of indexed number. Below is the schema
<fieldType name="text_suggest" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100">
<analyzer type="index">
<tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.TrimFilterFactory" />
<filter catenateAll="1" catenateNumbers="0" catenateWords="0" class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateNumberParts="0" generateWordParts="0" splitOnCaseChange="0"/>
<filter class="solr.ReverseStringFilterFactory"/>
<!--<filter class="solr.NGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="1" maxGramSize="17"/>-->
<filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="7" maxGramSize="10" side="front"/>
<filter class="solr.ReverseStringFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory" />
<filter catenateAll="1" catenateNumbers="0" catenateWords="0" class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateNumberParts="0" generateWordParts="0" splitOnCaseChange="0" />
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.TrimFilterFactory" />
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
EdgNGram with side="back" does not works in lucene 4.4. I am using solr v4.9.1

If you only want to search for the last 4 digits, then going for a EdgeNGramFilterFactory is the way to go. Try this:
<filter class="solr.ReverseStringFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="4" maxGramSize="4" />
<filter class="solr.ReverseStringFilterFactory"/>
A small note. Besides the use of ngrams, a traditional approach to efficiently support leading wildcards is to reverse the string and do a prefix query.

Solr: Searching with/without spaces in keywords

I am experiencing an issue when spaces are introduced to keywords, for example:
We have a product with the title "Sony Playstation 4 Camera V2 PS4
(PSVR)"
Searching for "playstation" or "playstation camera" brings back this product
Searching for "play station" or "play station camera" does not bring back this product (notice
the space)
Here is the fieldType being used:
<fieldType name="text_en_splitting" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" autoGeneratePhraseQueries="true">
<analyzer type="index">

<filter class="solr.SynonymGraphFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>
<filter class="solr.WordDelimiterGraphFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" preserveOriginal="1"/>

How can I fix this, and make both "playstation" and "play station" match? This is only limited to PlayStation for my example, but it can happen to any search term e.g. "cyberpunk", "cyber punk". So solutions that require alot of manual work such as adding a synonym for play station => playstation are not feasible.
Things I have tried, but not managed to make work:
N-GRAM filter and tokenizer
Fuzzy search
Removing whitespace
Escaping whitespace
You can use a Shingle Filter to combine multiple tokens into one.
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.HyphenatedWordsFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.EnglishMinimalStemFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="lang/stopwords_en.txt"/>
<filter class="solr.SynonymGraphFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>
<filter class="solr.WordDelimiterGraphFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" preserveOriginal="1"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.ShingleFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
If you assume that the terms are spelled correctly when being indexed, you can apply this only when querying. It'll concatenate the tokens for you, effectively giving you multiple "merged" tokens:
play station camera => play, station, camera, playstation, stationcamera
.. given maxShingleSize=2. If you increase the max size to 3, this will also give you playstationcamera as a single token (in this case). If you have terms where people will possibly split a word multiple times, that might be necessary.
If you assume that your terms are indexed correctly, and this is only necessary on query time, your index won't change and you won't have to reindex (and the size won't change).
You might have to change the location of the filter around; your stemming filter will break this in mysterious places, since you'll end up concatenating previously stemmed terms.

How to handle Arabic characters on Solr

I'm trying to make my site ignore some Arabic characters ex("ه"،"ة") during the search. when user search for word end with "ة" like "مدينة" it brings only word end with that character "ة", it's supposed to bring also the words ends with "ه" like "مدينه".
these characters are the same in the Arabic language so the search result shouldn't be different, but my site produce different results

but the accents_ar.txt empty when I download the config folder from drupal admin interface,and where I can find an example of accents_ar.txt to use on my site? or there is another filter class to handle these kind of issues?

Solr: Ignore casing of strings when calculating facet numbers

I have these values for the title field in my database:
"I Am A String"
"I am A string"
I want to make the title field available as facets in my search results.
Current result:
<lst name="title">
<int name="I Am A String">4</int>
<int name="I am A string">3</int>
</lst>
Desired result:
<lst name="title">
<int name="I Am A String">7</int>
</lst>
I actually don't care which of the 2 available string options is chosen for the final result, as long as the same strings (case insenstive) are counted for the same facet.
I tried the following field definitions for the title field. I also added the resulting facet logic.
string = sees casing as different strings
string_exact = sees casing as different strings
text_ws = breaks up into words with casing intact
text = breaks into separate words
textTight = breaks into separate words
textTrue = breaks up in words with casing intact
string_exacttest = breaks up in words with casing intact

How can I make sure that the same strings (ignoring case) are grouped together when calculating the facets?
The string_exact definition is almost what you need, but you need to have a LowercaseFilter applied as well, so that each sentence is lowercased. The KeywordTokenizer keeps the whole value as a single token (so you won't see it broken into separate terms based on whitespace), and while a string field doesn't allow any additional processing, a TextField with a KeywordTokenizer behaves the same way - but you can add filters to how the token is processed afterwards.

partial search using Solr EdgeNgramFileterFactory

I am using EdgeNgramFilterFactory for partial search
<filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="4" maxGramSize="15" side="front"/>
so if the word is "sfx" this will not be stored in index as its length is < 4 and i cannot search it , is there any way to store the words with lenghth < minGramSize in index and make it searchable ???
Using Solr 4.3
Thanks ...
you have to change the minGramSize to lower length like to 3 your case.
Or may be you can keep it as 2.
In earlier version (I used 3.3) had the side front and back so I Used it like this.
<fieldType name="text_reference" class="solr.TextField" sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true" positionIncrementGap="100">
<analyzer type="index">
<tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="2" maxGramSize="50" side="front"/>
<filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="2" maxGramSize="50" side="back"/>
</analyzer>
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
or you can index the text using another field type where you will keep the text as it without ngraming and search in that field as well. Where their wont be any n-gram filter so it the text with length 3 will get indexed.
<fieldType name="text_delimeter" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100">

Here is a screenshot of the analyzer when "Satisfaction" is put into the index, and "Satisfaction" is put into the query.
Any ideas? Thanks
Once obvious option is to increase the nGram length limit. You seem to be aware of this option and probably agree that is is not ideal.
Another option is to create a second field to use the nGram search, and another to use a search without nGram. For exmaple, somewhere in your schema.xml you might see:
<field name="myCoolNGramField" type="text_en_splitting" indexed="true" stored="false"/>
<!-- make a new type, text_en_non_ngram, and use it for this new field below. -->
<field name="myCoolField" type="text_en_non_ngram" indexed="true" stored="false"/>
<copyField source="myCoolNGramField" dest="myCoolField" />
