Item12959: Make it possible to filter webs with subwebs

I wish to limit SolrSearch to a web, for example with:

%TMPL:DEF{"solr::defaultweb"}%MyWeb%TMPL:END%

However I run into trouble when also including all subwebs like this:

%TMPL:DEF{"solr::defaultweb"}%MyWeb*%TMPL:END%

because the * will crash the webs facet.

I'd like to suggest this change:

Please don't patch against ajax-solr.uncompressed.js as it is auto-generated by the Makefile. Which file that ajax-solr.uncompressed.js is derived from do you really want to patch?

What do you mean by "crash"? Is it a javascript error, the solr server barfing, or simply not working as expected?

Could you please explain what your js patch is doing? I don't get the code change.

In SolrSearchBaseTemplate the defaultweb template is used to filter using a web:... filter. That's probably not what you're intending to do. A better and more flexible way to configure the filter is to use the SOLR_EXTRAFILTER preference setting and then use a web_search:FooBar* expression to limit the scope of the search.

Sorry for the late reply, not much time lately.

By "crash" I mean that the javascript (ajax-solr.js) will cause an error and the page will not load (remains blocked). The problem is that "MyWeb*" is not among the selectable facets, so the RegExp does not match and (RegExp(...).exec(...))[1] is an error.

web_search:FooBar* also matches "AnythingFooBar" which is not what I want (WordDelimiterFilter).

As a workaround I am going to copy web into another field, so no action required.
