You were searching for "1899" which is the value of the "date" field in the document you added. You need to specify q=date:1899 to search on the date field.
You can also use the "<defaultSearchField>" element in schema.xml to specify the field on which you'd like to search if no field name is specified in the query. Typically, one creates a catch-all field which copies data from all the fields you want to search on. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaXml#head-b80c539a0a01eef8034c3776e49e8fe1c064f496 Also look at the DisMax queries: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxRequestHandler On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 8:35 PM, phil cryer <p...@cryer.us> wrote: > Otis > Thanks for your reply, I wrote out a long email explaining the steps I > took, and the results, but it was returned by the Solr-user email > server stamped as spam.
