Karsten, We're using solr.py for indexing.
Thanks for your suggestion, though. I will look into the indexing process to see how the ampersands are being handled. -Kurt ________________________________________ From: karsten-s...@gmx.de [karsten-s...@gmx.de] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 6:06 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Unable to determine why query won't return results Hi Kurt, I toke your fieldtype definition and could not reproduce your problem with solr 3.4. But I think you have a problem with the ampersand in "A. J. Johnson & Co." Two comments: In your analysis html-example there is a gap of two positions between Johnson and Co. This must not be ("A. J. Johnson & Co." is indexed like "A J Johnson Co"). Possible you have an encoding problem with the ampersand? Do you use solrj for url generation?
