Hi, Thanks Eric.. The search parameter length is a lot to be done in GET, I am thinking of opting for POST, is it possible to do POST request to solr. Any configuration changes or code changes required for the same? I have many parameters but only one is supposed to be very lengthy.
Any suggestions?
