Jack, This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks. I found the positionIncrementGap attribute in the schema.xml for the text_en
I was putting in "AND" because I read in the Solr documentation that "The OR operator is the default conjunction operator." Does it mean that words between " symbols, such as "Orange ordered" are treated as a single term, with (implicitly) AND conjunction between them? Where could I found more info about this? I am currently reading https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/The+Standard+Query+Parser Thanks again On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 3:58 PM, Jack Krupansky <jack.krupan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just set the positionIncrementGap for the multivalued field to a much > higher value, like 1000 or 5000.
