Hi, I am a bit confused about the +/- syntax. Am I understanding it properly that when using the normal query handler + means required and - means prohibit where as in the dismax handler + means required and - means optional?
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_1/queryparsersyntax.html The "+" or required operator requires that the term after the "+" symbol exist somewhere in a the field of a single document. The "-" or prohibit operator excludes documents that contain the term after the "-" symbol. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxRequestHandler Quotes can be used to group phrases, and +/- can be used to denote mandatory and optional clauses ... but all other Lucene query parser special characters are escaped to simplify the user experience. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith m...@pooteeweet.org
