Erick My field contains "a b" (without ")
We are trying to assemble the query as a String by appending the various values. I think that is a large part of the problem and our lives would be easier if we let the Solr api do this work. We've experimented with our "query assembler" producing field:a+b We've also tried making it create field:a\ b The first case just does not work and I'm unsure why. The second case ends up url encoding the \ and I'm unsure if that will cause it to be used in the query or not.
