Right, you're conflating two separate issues
1> URL escaping. the & is a special character in the URL, entirely
separate from Solr. Try using %26 rather than \&
2> Query parsing. Once the string gets through the URL and servlet
container, it's in query parsing land, where the escaping of
_query_ special characters like '-' counts.
3> And just to confuse matters a LOT, when you're looking at
URLs, space is translated to '+'. So when you look in your log
file, you'll see the query q=me myself reported as
q=me+myself which has nothing to do with the Lucene MUST
(+) operator....
