semicolon is legacy syntax in Solr only for specifying a sort. It is
not part of the actual query parser syntax, but rather parsed
separately.
What version of Solr are you using? The semicolon sort support in the
query string is supposed to be deprecated/removed, I believe, in the
default query parser but looks like it still is checked under certain
conditions.

Today I found something very interesting. When i search a word
(solr; lucene) ending with a semicolon plus any character (from solr
admin page), solr gives an exception (HTTP Status 400 - Missing sort
order).
When I escaped semicolon (solr\;lucene) exception gone.
I checked Lucene Special Characters that are part of the query
syntax. Semicolon (;) is not in the list.
I wanted to share this with you.
