Hi, In solr admin query full interface page, the following query with english become term query according to debug :
title_en_US: (blood red) <lst name="debug"> <str name="rawquerystring">title_en_US: (blood red)</str> <str name="querystring">title_en_US: (blood red)</str> <str name="parsedquery">title_en_US:blood title_en_US:red</str> <str name="parsedquery_toString">title_en_US:blood title_en_US:red</str> However, using the same syntax with two chinese terms, the query result into a phrase query: title_zh_CN: (我活) <lst name="debug"> <str name="rawquerystring">title_zh_CN: (我活)</str> <str name="querystring">title_zh_CN: (我活)</str> <str name="parsedquery">PhraseQuery(title_zh_CN:"我 活")</str> <str name="parsedquery_toString">title_zh_CN:"我 活"</str> I do have different tokenizer/filter for those two different fields. title_en_US is using all those common english specific tokenizer, while title_zh_CN uses solr.ChineseTokenizerFactory. I don't think those tokenizer determin whether things within bracket become term queries or phrase queries. I really need to blindly pass user-input text to a solr field without doing any parsing, and hope it is all doing term query for each term contained in the search text. How do i achieve that?
