Let's say that I submit a query for a MoreLikeThis search. The query contains special characters, that Solr/Lucene interprets specially, such as colon ":".
Example textual query is "Solve a proportion X:2 = 4/5 and find X". (the context is website algebra.com). My queries never intend those characters to be interpreted for anything other than literal value. As a first shot, I simply replace them with a space, but I wonder if I would be better off, matching wise, with quoting those characters instead of removing them? If so how do I quote such characters? Thanks1 i
