"-" and "+" are only treated special if they are at the start of a string or preceeded by whitespace. more info on this can be found by clicking the "Query Syntax" link at the bottom of hte Solr admin screen. the *best* way to udnerstand how a query will be parsed, is to add "debugQuery=true" to your query url (there is a checkbox forthis on the full search form) and look at the debugging info at the bottom where you see all the details about how your query is parsed and what the resulting structure is. -Hoss
