    New features

    • Smarter relevancy with query rewriting

      Query rewriting turns ineffective queries into more relevant results by automatically correcting misspelled terms, expanding queries to include synonyms, boosting known phrases, and applying your own business rules.

      4.2.0 ties together existing query rewriting features and adds new features to make query rewriting easier to configure:

    • Refine the final search results with response rewriting

      Similar to query rewriting, response rewriting can apply machine learning, business rules, or other criteria to Solr’s response, refining the final set of search results before Fusion sends them to the search application. Response rewriting can be performed using rules and a set of new query pipeline stages that fall into two categories:

    • More Natural Language Processing (NLP) power in pipelines

      This release includes a new NLP Annotator index stage and query stage that leverage the popular John Snow NLP library for Spark, introducing these new NLP features in addition to the existing Named Entity Extraction (NER) functionality:

      • Sentence detection

      • Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging

      See Natural Language Processing for an overview of Fusion AI’s NLP capabilities.

    Improvements

    Known issues

    • In Underperforming Query Rewriting and Misspelling Detection, new or modified query rewrites cannot be saved when any of their values include trailing or leading whitespace. Remove any trailing or leading whitespace to save the query rewrite.

    • The Query Rewriting UI’s search feature joins multiple search terms using OR instead of AND. For example, searching for a rule called "Test 1" returns "Test 1", "Test 2", and "1 Rule".

    • The Query Rewriting UI’s search feature may return a Problem with underlying storage if your query is *:* followed by an additional query term. This is an invalid query; use only *:* to search for all query rewrites.

    • In Underperforming Query Rewriting, job-generated query improvements do not preserve the original query’s uppercase and lowercase characters. For example, an underperforming query containing "brandX" may be rewritten to contain "brandx". You may need to manually modify the query improvements to preserve the correct cases.

    • After selecting multiple business rules where some rules have tags, adding more tags to the selected rules deletes their existing tags. To work around this, add tags to individual rules instead of adding them in bulk.
