Solr - text and string for single line text [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to have both a string and text index field for the same single line text field? I have tried adding my field to the DefaultIndexConfiguration config but it just takes on or the other.

Answer 1

It depends on the return type we are setting for that field. It is possible to set one return type for a field.

If you want this to be added to index in both the text and string return types, create a new computed index field and append in the patch with the required return type.

For Creating Computed filed:

public class yourclass: AbstractComputedIndexField
{
        public override object ComputeFieldValue(IIndexable indexable)
        {
            object obj= null;
            //logic to fetch content of your field
            return obj;
        }
}

Patch file: patch file to be added along with the return type specified.

<fields hint="raw:AddComputedIndexField">
    <field fieldName="specify field name" returnType = "specify return type">Yourclass, namespace</field>
</fields>
