Try mm (Minimum Should Match) Parameter of dismax parser.

it has great flexibility to specify Integers or percentage to mm parameter.

Example:

consider 3 docs

doc1: duplicate ipod, doc2:ipod apple, doc3: ipod cable

Lets say query ipod apple. it retrieve docs if it has term either ipod or apple or both. so we get 3 results.

if we use mm=2 with dismax parser

http://localhost:8983/solr/collection_name/select?indent=on&q=ipod apple&wt=json&defType=dismax&mm=2

It fetch docs minimum match of 2 words, specified in query ipod apple. if doc has only one term (say 'ipod') it wont be returned in results.

In result we get only one doc, i.e

doc2

can also specify percentage values to mm parameter(like 75% or -25%)

Hope this helps, vinod
