Hi Erik,
thanks for the response. I have ensured the type is string and that the
field is indexed. No luck though:
(Schema setting under solr/conf):
<field name="Word" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" />
Query:
Word:apple
Desired result:
apple
Achieved Results:
apple, the red apple, pine-apple, etc, etc
I have also tried your other suggestion:
q={!" " f=Word}apple
(attmpting to eliminate any results with spaces)
But that just gives errors (from calling from the solr/admin query
interface.
Am I doing something obviously wrong?
Thanks again,
Roland

Hi,
I am trying to do a search that will only match exact words on a field.
I have read somewhere that this is not what SOLR is meant for but I am still
hoping that its possible.
This is an example of what I have tried (to exclude spaces) but the workaround
does not seem to work.
Word:apple NOT " "
What I am really looking for is the "=" operator in SQL (eg Word='apple') but I
cannot find its equivalent for lucene.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Roland
