Just curious, why solr does not provide a simple mechanism to do a phrase search ? It is a very common use case and it is very surprising that there is no straight forward, at least I have not found one after so much research, way to do it in Solr.

When I tested {!field} it seemed to work as the query was on such a data that it made to look like it is working. using the example that I originally mentioned to search for Tom Hanks Major 1) If I search {!field f=displayName}: Hanks Major, it works 2) If I provide partial word {!field f=displayName}: Hanks Ma, it does not work Is this how {!field is designed to work? Also I tried without and with escaping space as you suggested. It has the same issue 1) q= field1:"Hanks Major" , it works 2) q= field1:"Hanks Maj" , does not works Regards, Dinesh Babu. -----Original Message----- From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:erik.hatc...@gmail.com] Sent: 05 December 2014 16:44 To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: How to stop Solr tokenising search terms with spaces But also, to spell out the more typical way to do that: q=field1:”…” OR field2:”…” The nice thing about {!field} is that the value doesn’t have to have quotes and deal with escaping issues, but if you just want phrase queries and quote/escaping isn’t a hassle maybe that’s cleaner for you.
