: I was wondering if anybody has run into this issue before. Solr is not

what are you expecting that query to match? because by backslash escpaing
the colon, what you are asking for there is for Solr to search for the

: INFO: [] webapp=/XXXXX path=/select
: params={q=(+description:*\:*)&rows=100&version=2.2} hits=1 status=0
: QTime=0
perhaps the problem is that you are expecting "description" to be your
default search field but it is not configured that way?
