I've been away from the ComplexQueryParser for a while, and I was wrong when I said in my earlier email that no currently included Solr parse generates a SpanNotQuery.
You're right, Emir, that the ComplexQueryParser does generate a SpanNotQuery, and, y, I just tried this with 7.2.1, and it retrieves "Leonardo is the name of Leonardo da Vinci". However, if fails to retrieve : a) "Leonardo da is the name of Leonardo da Vinci" and b) "Leonardo Vinci is the name of Leonardo da Vinci" because the SpanNot exclude is a SpanOr ("da" or "vinci") after the rewrite: spanNot(name:leonardo, spanNear([name:leonardo, spanOr([name:da, name:vinci])], 0, true), 0, 0) -----Original Message----- From: Emir Arnautović [mailto:emir.arnauto...@sematext.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2018 11:23 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Solr search word NOT followed by another word Hi Ivan, Which version of Solr do you use?
