Solr DefaultFacetSearchStrategy | Query parameter is passed as empty

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using Hyrbis 5.7.0.3 b2b powertools accelerator and facing solr query issue when i turn off the legacy mode in solrquery config.

Problem: In LegacyMode, things are working but when i turn off the legacy mode in solrsearchconfig, Solr uses DefaultFacetSearchStrategy in order to generate solr query and get the search results. With this, everytime i search on the page, same results are shown. When i debug the query below query was printed in the logs:

q=%3A&sort=score+desc%2CinStockFlag_boolean+desc%2Cscore+desc&start=0&rows=20&facet.field=Colour+of+product%2C+1766_en_string&facet.field=price_usd_string&facet.field=allPromotions_string_mv&facet.field=categoryPath_string_mv&facet.field=allCategories_string_mv&facet.field=availableInStores_string_mv&facet=true&facet.sort=count&facet.mincount=1&facet.limit=50&spellcheck=true&spellcheck.q=screw&spellcheck.dictionary=en&spellcheck.collate=true&fq=%28catalogId%3A%22csmProductCatalog%22+AND+catalogVersion%3A%22Online%22%29

If you look at the above query, "q" parameter is taking value as "*:*" instead of search term.

Does anyone has experienced this behaviour?

Also tried viewing the platform files, as per the converter class which generates the query, below populators are invoked in order to create a query

             <ref bean="facetSearchQueryFilterQueriesPopulator" />
             <ref bean="facetSearchQueryGroupingPopulator" />
             <ref bean="facetSearchQuerySortsPopulator" />
             <ref bean="facetSearchQueryPagingPopulator" />
             <ref bean="facetSearchQueryFacetsPopulator" />
             <ref bean="facetSearchQueryFieldsPopulator" />
             <ref bean="facetSearchQuerySpellcheckPopulator" />
             <ref bean="facetSearchQueryParamsPopulator" />
             <ref bean="facetSearchQueryCatalogVersionsPopulator" />

First ref in the list belongs to FacetSearchQueryBasicPopulator.class file which somehow is not opening up in decompiler and i believe its responsible for generating "q" parameter.

Why do you switch the legacyMode to false in such case - if it works for you? Have you seen the description of the mode difference: https://wiki.hybris.com/display/release5/Search+Process If you want to change mode for search in your application then you will need to check the Index type/properties configuration (fts* fields) because new search strategy doesn't use the populators for free text queries.
