Does this mean filter queries are not analyzed? The query below
returns a
document.
http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=*%3A*&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on&debugQuery=on&fq=features:GOOD
Am I missing something?
filter queries are query parsed using the
"lucene" (SolrQueryParser) query
parser (and appropriate pieces analyzed per field type
configuration). So
the above statement that filter queries are not analyzed is
incorrect.
Wow! I learned something new today. I guess that using fq for
drilling down
on facets all this time, I somehow came to believe that a filter
query is
not analyzed. Moreover, I've been responsible for misleading quite a
few
people on this forum regarding this topic. Thanks Ahmet for
challenging me
and Erik for the authoritative word :)
/me goes off to fix the wiki

It's most common that fq's are used to drill into facets, which are
themselves most often indexed as "string" type. So, an
fq=category:"Music and Electronics" is not really "analyzed" per se.
But, in general that is a Lucene query expression. I actually really
strongly recommend folks use <fq={!raw f=category}Music and
Electronics> so that query parsing and analysis and such don't
interfere when it is really meant to be a straight TermQuery.
