Dynamic Field Names defined by Blacklight

Extensions based on data type and how the field will be indexed...

data type →	text	English text	string	integer	date time	boolean	comments
↓field parameters	_t...	_te...	_s...	_i...	_dt...	_b...
indexed only (...i)	_ti	_tei	_si	_ii	_dti	_bi	field WILL be searched, but will NOT be part of retrieved solr document
indexed & multi-valued (...im)	_tim	_teim	_sim	_iim	_dtim	_bim
stored only (...s)	_ts	_tes	_ss	_is	_dts	_bs	field will NOT be searched, but WILL be part of retrieved solr document
stored & multi-valued (...sm)	_tsm	_tesm	_ssm	_ism	_dtsm	_bsm
stored & indexed (...si)	_tsi	_tesi	_ssi	_isi	_dtsi	_bsi	field WILL be searched and WILL be part of retrieved solr document
stored, indexed, & multi-valued (...sim)	_tsim	_tesim	_ssim	_isim	_dtsim	_bsim

Meaning of field parameters

• indexed - field will be searched
• stored - field will part of retrieved solr document
• multi-valued - field is an array of values

See also:

• additional <dynamicField> definitions and a few additional field parameters defined in Blacklight Solr schema.xml
• <fieldType> definitions which configure types used in dynamic fields with base solr types

Examples using Solrizer to generate the Solr field name

fm.solr_name('foo', :facetable, :type=>:text )   # pass one modifier at a time
=> "foo_sim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :facetable, :type=>:string )
=> "foo_sim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :facetable, :type=>:integer )
=> "foo_sim"

fm.solr_name('foo', :searchable, type: :text )
=> "foo_teim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :searchable, type: :string )
=> "foo_teim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :searchable, type: :integer )
=> "foo_iim"

fm.solr_name('foo', :searchable, type: :float )
Solrizer::InvalidIndexDescriptor: Invalid datatype `:float'. Must be one of: :date, :time, :text, :text_en, :string, :symbol, :integer, :boolean

fm.solr_name('foo' )
=> "foo_tesim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :stored_searchable)
=> "foo_tesim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :searchable)
=> "foo_teim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :dateable)
=> "foo_dtsim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :facetable)
=> "foo_sim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :symbol)
=> "foo_ssim"
fm.solr_name('foo', :sortable )
=> "foo_si"
fm.solr_name('foo', :stored_sortable)
=> "foo_ssi"
fm.solr_name('foo', :displayable)
=> "foo_ssm"
fm.solr_name('foo', :unstemmed_searchable)
=> "foo_tim"
