In a parameter, the spaces can be +, but in a path they need to be %20. http://localhost:8983/solr/nvd-rss/select?wt=json&indent=true&q=summary%3A%22Oracle+Fusion%22 wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ On Jan 23, 2015, at 7:08 AM, Carl Roberts <carl.roberts.zap...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Erick, > > I think I am going to start using the browser for testing...:) Perhaps also a > REST client for the Mac. > > Regards, > > Joe > > On 1/22/15, 6:56 PM, Erick Erickson wrote: >> Have you considered using the admin/query form?
