I had queries breaking on me when there were spaces in the text I was searching for. Originally I had :
fq=state_s:New York and that would break, I found a work around by using: fq={!raw f=state_s}New York My problem now is doing this with an OR query, this is what I have now, but it doesn't work: fq=({!raw f=country_s}United States OR {!raw f=city_s}New York
