Query or Term Filter with wildcard on URL, Directory and subdirectory fails to return results

[micktion]

I'm using OSS 1.5.12 and using the file crawler to create an OSS index.

When querying the index, whilst using a wildcard within a query or term filter on the fileName field works as expected, applying a similar wildcard to the URL, directory or subdirectory fields returns no results.

Whilst I can get a single result entering the full URL of a file. Attempting to use a wild card like...

file:/D:/*

... fails to return any results. I've tested with both Query and Term filters with the same results.

Hi @micktion, did you find a solution to this?

We're trying to achieve the same thing, but with URL's.

I'm also having a similar issue trying to query from a selected URL to show any results that appear in its children.

I've tried the following filters as both Query and Term filters, with no success:

        {
           "type": "TermFilter",
           "negative": false,
           "field": "url",
           "term": "[http://www.myurl.com/subpage/ TO *]"
        }

        {
           "type": "TermFilter",
           "negative": false,
           "field": "url",
           "term": "http://www.myurl.com/subpage/*"
        }

Any help on this would be extremely appreciated!

No i haven't found a solution for it.

I've ended up reverting back to OSS 1.4 as I encountered other more critical issues with OSS 1.5.

We're now looking at migrating to Azure Search
