: org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse 'last_modified:-DAY': ... : Are they not supported as a short-cut for "NOW-1DAY"? I'm using Solr 1.4.
No, "-1DAY" is a valid DateMath string (to the DateMathParser) but as a field value you must specify a valid date string, which can *end* with a DateMath string. so "NOW-1DAY" is legal, as is "2011-02-22T12:34:56Z-1DAY" Note also: you didn't do "-1DAY" you tried "-DAY" which isn't valid anywhere. -Hoss
