Test major Koha Wiki changes or bug fixes here without fear of breaking the production wiki.
For the current Koha Wiki, visit https://wiki.koha-community.org .Solr/Lucene Test Queries for Koha
Add Solr/Lucene test queries for particular expected record retrieval functionality.
Test queries have been organised for ensuring that we do not omit important types of queries. Please also help improve the organisation.
Some good test queries are needed to test each particular query feature in isolation. Real queries combine multiple query features into one query. Your test queries are welcome to combine query features. We need both query feature isolation test queries and query feature combination test queries.
We want your test queries. If you have trouble classifying your test query and have no time to improve the organisation, then please take a guess about where to add your query or add it to the unclassified queries table.
See Solr/Lucene Documentation for documentation of Solr/Lucene query syntax.

Topic | Query | Results | Development Status | Notes |
Less than or equal to date specified by range beginning masking. | srt_date_pubdate:[* TO 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z] | published before 2000 | [If pubdate contains dates derived from years, then this query would return results from before 2001 expressed as 2000 and before.] | |
Greater than or equal to date specified by range end masking. | srt_date_pubdate:[2000-01-01T00:00:00Z TO *] | published after 2000 | [This query should return results published after 1999 expressed as from 2000 and later.] | |
Greater than or equal to Callnumbers with masking and range end specified by masking | srt_str_callnumber:[200* TO *] | callnumber over 200 | [This query should return results for call numbers over 199.999 expressed as 200 and greater.] | |
Range within Date Search explicitly. | srt_date_pubdate:[1995-01-01T00:00:00Z TO 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z] | with date in range | developed | |

The terminating date and time of the query should be 2004-12-31T23:59:59Z to ensure complete coverage of 2004 even when more than year has been specified for some pubdate dates.] | |
Range within dates specified by masking. | srt_date_pubdate:1999* | "with date begins with "1999" | developed | [Simple means of specifying year. We should determine the whether explicit range or masking is more efficient.] |
Range within Callnumbers with masking | srt_str_callnumber:[3?B* TO 99*] | callnumber from 1 to 99 (should be numerically sorted) |

ordered by integer | "can you precise please? what index? [Maybe this row was meant to refer to the row above, order by callnumber numerically. However, numerical sorting on callnumber needs a normalised callnumber for machine sorting different from the form meant for humans to read which even if it is a DDC or UDC number may have a Cutter code and copy number appended and collection code prefixed.]" | |||
Boosting Keywords | livre grand^2 | "grand" would have a better weight in the query than "livre" | should work |
