: Subject: using a function query with OR and spaces? First off, what you are asking about is a "filter query" not a "function query"
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters#fq : 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 assuming the field is a StrField, the "raw" or "Term" QParsers will work, or you can quote the value using something like fq=stats_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 That's beacause: a) local params (ie: the {! ...} syntax) must comeat the start of a SOlr Param as an instruction of how to parse it. b) the "raw" and "term" QParsers don't support *any* query markup/syntax (like "OR" modifiers). If you want to build a complex query using multiple clauses that are constucted using specific QParsers, you need to build them up using multiple query params and/or the "_query_" hook in the LuceneQParser... fq=_query_:"{!term f=state_s}New York" OR _query_:"{!term f=country_s}United States" https://wiki.apache.org/solr/LocalParams http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2009/03/31/nested-queries-in-solr/ -Hoss
