Enabling Alphanumeric Splits
By default, Windchill search does not tokenize alphanumeric transitions. For example, the string “ABC123” is indexed as “ABC123.”
You can customize Solr to enable alphanumeric splits. When enabled, the string “ABC123” is indexed as the following:
ABC123
ABC
123
To enable alphanumeric splitting, perform the following actions:
1. Stop Windchill.
2. Navigate to the following file:
/solr-home/wblib/conf/conf_generic_field_types.xml
3. Locate all instances of the following: splitOnNumerics="0"
And replace with the following: splitOnNumerics="1"
4. Restart Windchill.
5. Once Windchill is restarted, re-index data using the Bulk Index Tool.
