WS error : maxClauseCount

ybuch — GMT

Hi, When I execute the following request it returns an error : Code:

http://ws.geonames.org/search?country=FR&adminCode1=A2&featureClass=P&name_startsWith=saint%20m But interstingly enough it didn't happen for a very similar one: http://ws.geonames.org/search?country=FR&adminCode1=A2&featureClass=P&name_startsWith=saint%20b I found someone that had the same issue in an old post http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/149.page but it seems that it's still happening. Any ideas?

There are too many records, so that the internal query rewritting to search for the places that start with the prefix hits a limit. Marc

I'm not sure to understand how the internal query works. But when I execute the following request it works perfectly even though the prefix is much smaller. http://ws.geonames.org/search?country=FR&adminCode1=A2&featureClass=P&name_startsWith=s And to me there should be more records found with the prefix 's' than the prefix 'saint m', am I right? How would you explain this? Thanks

small prefixes are hardcoded into the search index and longer prefixes are expanded into a wildcard query. The index now includes longer prefixes than before, lets hope this will suffice. Best Marc
