hi Franck; Thank you for your response. I'm not sure you understand my issue however. I have dismax on by default so am able to use query fields.
My problem is not in the queries themselves, but when they are input from the '/admin' screen they are url-encoded. If I take your suggestion and type in t_FIELD_NAME:TEST the ''/admin screen I get redirected to the following: select/?q=t_FIELD_NAME%3ATEST instead of: select/?q=t_FIELD_NAME:TEST Is there a setting I should be aware of to stop the /admin screen from url-encoding strings? Or is there a setting to allow solr to accept url-encoded strings? Is this issue fixed in later versions after 1.4?
