RE: solr to handle special charater

[Kevin Xiao]

By the way, I used DisMaxRequestHandler in solrconfig.xml. I googled a little 
about DisMaxRequestHandler, it says that '+' and '-' characters prefixing 
nonwhitespace characters are treated as "mandatory" and "prohibited" modifiers 
for the subsequent terms, but it doesn't say anything about just '+' or '-' 
characters.

Does anyone know a workaround before I stripped off '+'/'-' by myself?

Thanks,
- Kevin

Subject: solr to handle special charater

Hi there,

I am new to Solr. I used the following analyzer - I tried both 
WhitespaceTokenizerFactory and StandardTokenizerFactory, but when I search "xyz 
- abc", it didn't returns anything, ("xyz abc" returns "xyz - abc" though). I 
used the tokenizer/filter on both index and query time. Is that a solr bug? How 
do I make it work?

Thanks,
- Kevin
