APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When MinimumMatch is set in the search profile, it is not
    getting added to the final Solr query when the search term
    contains a hyphen, e.g. polo-shirt.
    When searching for 'polo shirt' vs 'polo-shirt', the results are
     inconsistent.
    This is caused by a defect in the
    SolrRESTSearchTermAssociationExpressionProvider.decideWhetherAnd
    WhereToSetMinMatchParam method.
