How to index text field with html entities ?

[Bruno Mannina]

Dear Solr User,

Solr 5.0.1

I have several xml files that contains html entities in some fields.

I have a author field (english text) with this kind of text:

Brown & Gammon

If I set my field like this:

<field name="au">Brown &amp; Gammon</field>

Solr generates error "Undeclared general entity"

if I add CDATA like this:

<field name="au"><![CDATA[Brown &amp; Gammon]]></field>

it seems that I can't search with the &

au:"brown & gammon"

Could you help me to find the right syntax ?

Thanks a lot,

Bruno
