hmm ... it seems, you are using XML/HTML-encoding, but you need HTTP-encoding, which looks like this:
␣ ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] { | } %20 %21 %22 %23 %24 %25 %26 %27 %28 %29 %2A %2B %2C %2D %2E %2F %3A %3B %3C %3D %3E %3F %40 %5B %5C %5D %7B %7C %7D good luck! :) Mit freundlichen Grüßen/ With kind regards Jan Schluchtmann Systems Engineering Cluster Instruments VW Group Continental Automotive GmbH Division Interior ID S3 RM VDO-Strasse 1, 64832 Babenhausen, Germany Telefon/Phone: +49 6073 12-4346 Telefax: +49 6073 12-79-4346 Von: Roopesh Uniyal <roopesh.uni...@gmail.com> An: solr-user@lucene.apache.org, Datum: 06.12.2017 09:57 Betreff: Issue while searching with escape characters Hello I am searching Solr 6 via http call by providing a "UserID". Its just that the data is in the format of (DVeto1) So, in my call I have to provide parenthesis but since its a special character I need to provide escape also. Looks like its not working Provided the search string over http like these but none worked - (DVeto1) \(DVeto1\) Since this is not working I am sure I am missing something. Will appreciate your inputs. Thanks!
