Is data link one word

This is very complex ground, but most of what’s going on here seems to be due to the WordDelimiterFilter, and its arguments generateWordParts and concatentateWords. In the indexing you are generating parts, but not concatenating, but in the querying you are doing both.

When Indexing

1. «Data Link«: This was going to be indexed as two separate words, regardless. The WordDelimiterFilter doesn’t second-guess what are already two separate words.
2. «Data-Link«: This is ambiguous, and could be one word or two. Because your indexing analysis specifies generateWordParts, this is indexed as «data link».

When Searching

1. «Data Link«»: This is two separate words, and like at index time, the query-time WordDelimiterFilter doesn’t change this. It’s still two words.

2. «Data-Link«: The search analysis is configured differently than the index analysis, so this is searched both as «data link» and as «datalink».

The upshot?

Your search for «data-link» does search for the term «datalink», but the values you are indexing are only going to be indexed as «datalink» if they are written that way in the first place, because you never activate concatenateWords when indexing.

One thing you may choose to do is to select either concatenateWords or generateWordParts, and activate one or the other for the field, both when indexing and when searching. Another option I have chosen is to use a <copyField/> in the schema.xml to copy the value between a field in which word parts are generated and one in which words are concatenated. At the least, I have found that trying to do both concatenation and parts in a single field plays havoc with phrase searching as the position numbers of individual terms get out of whack when the terms can’t be clearly counted.

But, if your hope is to have a document where the word datalink can be found when searching for data link, then the WordDelimiterFilter won’t help, as it will never consider datalink to be a candidate for being two words, or data link as a candidate for being one word. Its specialty lies in ambiguous circumstances caused by things like hyphens and apostrophes.

Instead, you may need to construct your own logical query. (Logical operators work in the Standard/Lucene Query Handler, and the Extended-Dismax Query Handler, but not the Dismax Query Handler.) This kind of query can get complicated quickly, but something like (+data +link) OR datalink is a good first step. If three terms are included, it gets hard to know which might potentially be concatenated, so a query like datalinkcisco OR (+datalink +cisco) OR (+data +linkcisco) OR (+data +link +cisco) might start to come into play. (And imagine it with four terms!)

This gets very complicated, very quickly, and if there are only a few cases of terms that may be concatenated only some of the time, you might try a SynonymFilter instead. This allows a synonym file to be established with rules like:

data link => datalink

So that all instances of «data link» will be indexed or queried (as configured) as «datalink» instead. This can normalize the specific search terms without opening the can of worms where we don’t trust the user to know where spaces belong at all.

SynonymFilters can be good for other things. For example, if you filter punctuation out of your search index, «C++» and «C» may end up appearing equivalent to Solr. With a synonym rule of:

C++ => cplusplus

this ends up completely distinct. (Sure, no real person would ever search for cplusplus, but if you apply the same conversion to «C++» in your indexed documents and in your users’ queries, then they never have to know that «cplusplus» is the value that actually made the match.)

In the following article, we will focus on introducing you 5 smart ways of how to link one Word document to another.

There are many times when we need to link two or more related documents, so an update in source file can also refresh the text pasted on another one. Speaking of this, Word provides several distinct solutions. Let’s take a look to find out more details.

Method 1: Use “Paste Link” Option

1. Firstly, copy a range of text or the entire source document.
2. Then put insertion pointer properly and click “Paste” under “Home” tab.
3. Next choose “Paste Special” to open the same name dialog box.
4. In the “Paste Special” box, select “Paste link”.
5. And click to select a link type, such as “Formatted Text” or “Unformatted Text”.
6. Lastly, click “OK”.

Any change made in source text should reflect in the new document if you update the link by right click and choosing “Update Link”.

Method 2: Insert an Object

1. To begin with, click “Insert” tab then click “Object” in “Text” group.
2. Next in “Object” box open, click “Create from File” tab first.
3. Then click “Browse” to select a file.
4. And check “Link to file” box.
5. Finally, click “OK”.

Notice that you will insert the whole document into the new location. You can use the same way in method 1 to update the link.

Method 3: Create a Master Document Linking to Its Subdocument

It’s also a good choice to create a master document that link to subdocument to connect the two files. We have a previous article that explains every detailed step. You can refer to this link: How to Create a Master Document that Links to Multiple Subdocuments in Your Word

Method 4: Hyperlink a Bookmark from Source Document

1. First and foremost, create a bookmark for a block of texts in the source document.
2. Then in a new document, put insertion pointer at a proper location. Click “Insert” tab and choose “Hyperlink”.
3. Put cursor at the “Address” text box and click “Browse for File” tab to select the file which contains the texts you need.
4. Next click “Bookmark” tab to open the “Select Place in Document” box.
5. Select the bookmark just created and click “OK” in both 2 boxes open.

You will get a hyperlink as bellow:

You can visit the source document through “Ctrl+ Click”.

Method 5: Utilize the “IncludeText” Field

1. Click “Insert” tab first and the “Quick Parts” next.
2. Then choose “Field” on the drop-down menu.
3. In “Field” dialog box, choose “Links and References” for the “Categories”.
4. Next select “IncludeText” field.
5. Enter the file name of the source document.
6. Lastly, click “OK”.

All texts of the source file shall be visible by now in the new document. To update the field, you can click on it and press “F9”.

Deal with Corrupt Word Documents

Once we end up with a damaged document, we certainly won’t discard it immediately. Instead we should try all out to bring a dead file back to life. One of the most important means to address doc corruption is to acquire an advanced recovering tool as soon as possible.
