I may have provided too much background story for my question. What I am trying to do at the core here, is an exact match on a single field. I do this programmatically by reading the field value from the facet query and setting it equal to the field name for a subsequent search.
if this is a sample facet query result ... (Field1 is defined as a string) [Field1:[HI! THIS IS A "VALUE" FOR \FIELD1\ (100)] Then I need to run a search for that exact value. The problem is the double quotes and slashes when I try to construct the facet query ... String fq = "Field1:" + "\"" + value + "\""; The quotes play havoc with the concatenation, as do backslashes. I was wondering if there's a way to build the search without having to manually construct it in code. The only thing I can come up with is to transform the field data at index time by replacing double quotes and backslashes. I don't strip special chars because I'm using the facet values for display. This problem may be specific to SolrJ.
