Try this query with asterisk * http://192.168.1.5:18080/apache-solr-1.2.0/select/?q=*&version=2.2&start=0&r ows=10&indent=on
Response: HTTP Status 400 - Query parsing error: Cannot parse '*': '*' or '?' not allowed as first character in WildcardQuery ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- type Status report message Query parsing error: Cannot parse '*': '*' or '?' not allowed as first character in WildcardQuery description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect (Query parsing error: Cannot parse '*': '*' or '?' not allowed as first character in WildcardQuery). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Apache Tomcat/6.0.13 I tried to discuss it last year... It shouldn't be HTTP 400. I do not have such problems probably because I encapsulate * (using front-end layer) into Item_name:"*" I encapsulate user input into: Item_name:"Romeo+Juliet" AND category:"books" Item_name:"Romeo+Juliet"+category:"books" Of course I use URL encoding before calling SOLR... -Fuad
