SOLR search field type of "textCollection" and "Coordinates" are not generated in schema.xml when using SXA

Question

• Sitecore 8.2.4
• SXA 1.4

I have configured solr with all required installation and configuration outlined by the Sitecore Documentation site. I have enabled the following sxa solr config for SXA search components.

Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Search.Solr.config

I noticed below two new return types in this config file.

<typeMatch typeName="textCollection" type="System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]" fieldNameFormat="{0}_tm" multiValued="true" settingType="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.SolrSearchFieldConfiguration, Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider"/>
<typeMatch typeName="coordinates" type="System.String" fieldNameFormat="{0}_rpt" settingType="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.SolrSearchFieldConfiguration, Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider" />

When I generated the solr schema file using below Sitecore solr schema file generator, it does not generate dynamic field extentions for "_tm" and "_rpt".

• How do get these fields extentions created in solr schema.xml using sitecore solr schema file generator?
• Do I have to manually to add these two extention?

Answer 1

We found that adding the following to the schema.xml in your Solr cores for master and web helped get the search working for content and geospatial searches.

<dynamicField name="*_tm" type="text_general" multiValued="true" indexed="true" stored="true" />
<field name="geolocation_rpt" type="location_rpt" indexed="true" stored="true"  multiValued="true" />
