Thank you Shawn, Jan and Georg for your answers.

Yes, it seems that if I simply remove the defaultOperator it works well for "composed queries" like '(a:x AND b:y) OR c:z'.
But I think that the default Operator should/could be the AND.

Because when I add an extra search word, I expect that the results get more accurate...
(It seems to be what google is also doing now)

Otherwise, if you make a search and apply another filter (e.g.: sort by publication date, facets, ...) , user can get the less relevant item (only 1 word in 4 matches) in first position only because of its date...

What do you think?


Kind regards,
Bastien

If I add the following line to the schema.xml, even if I do a search

The settings in the schema for default field and default operator were
deprecated a long time ago.  I actually have no idea whether they are
even supported in newer Solr versions.

The q.op parameter controls the default operator, and the df parameter
controls the default field.  These can be set in the request handler
definition in solrconfig.xml -- usually in "defaults" but there might be
reason to put them in "invariants" instead.

If you're using edismax, you'd be better off using the mm parameter
rather than the q.op parameter.  The behavior you have described above
sounds like a change in behavior (some call it a bug) introduced in the
5.5 version:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8812

If you are using edismax, I suspect that if you set mm=100% instead of
q.op=AND (or the schema default operator) that the problem might go away
... but I am not sure.  Someone who is more familiar with SOLR-8812
probably should comment.

Thanks,
Shawn
