Handlers

The query processing in Solr is extremely configurable. Telligent Evolution uses Solr's DisMaxRequestHandler for any query that does not contain a colon (:).  For queries that contain a colon, the StandardRequestHandler is used. The default behavior is for all clauses to match. When you search for the terms "class enrollment", Solr (technically the DisMaxRequestHandler) will take responsibility for building a query based on the handler configuration and return documents that match the specified terms. The DisMaxRequestHandler configuration is the best place to start if you want to tune queries.
