And when you do that, a best practice for fq'ing on a string field is:

   fq={!raw f=field_name}value

That avoids query parsing and the hassles associated with escaping special characters.

use a copyField and index the copy as type string, exact matches on

Hi,

I'm trying with no luck to filter on the exact-match value of a field.
Speciffically:
 fq=brand:apple
returns document's whose 'brand' field contains values like "apple bottoms".

Is there a way to formulate the fq expression to match precisely and only "apple" ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Pete.
