Hi Alex and Erick, We could possibly put them in fq, but how we set everything up would make it hard to do so, but going that route might be the only option.
I did take a look at the parsed query and this is the difference: This is the one that works: "-WithinPrefixTreeQuery(fieldName=collection_date_range,queryShape=[2000 TO 2018-09-18],detailLevel=9,prefixGridScanLevel=7) -WithinPrefixTreeQuery(fieldName=collection_date_range,queryShape=[1960 TO 1998-09-18],detailLevel=9,prefixGridScanLevel=7) +IntersectsPrefixTreeQuery(fieldName=collection_season,queryShape=1999-05,detailLevel=9,prefixGridScanLevel=8)" This is the one that does not work "+(-WithinPrefixTreeQuery(fieldName=collection_date_range,queryShape=[2000 TO 2018-09-18],detailLevel=9,prefixGridScanLevel=7) -WithinPrefixTreeQuery(fieldName=collection_date_range,queryShape=[1960 TO 1998-09-18],detailLevel=9,prefixGridScanLevel=7)) +IntersectsPrefixTreeQuery(fieldName=collection_season,queryShape=1999-05,detailLevel=9,prefixGridScanLevel=8)" If someone knows by just looking at these queries why I get no results in the second one, I would appreciate it. From looking at the page Erick pointed out, I do not think it covers my case? ((-X AND -Y) AND Z) Sorry for the trouble and thanks again!
