Hi Jack, Thanks for the response. Let me explain my question better.
I have a filter query to limit the query results, start_time:[* TO 1970-01-01T10:55:002Z] AND end_time:[1970-01-01T10:55:002Z TO *] AND session_time_range_available:true and I also use the same query as a function query in fl using the if(exists(query), x, y) where query is, {!edismax}(start_time:[* TO 1970-01-01T10:55:002Z] AND end_time:[1970-01-01T10:55:002Z TO *] AND session_time_range_available:true) I need to extend the end_time range query based on the logic, similar to end_time:[1970-01-01T10:55:002Z+30MINUTUES TO *] How much I need to offset the end_time range is defined as an int type in the schema. I was trying to use the field value query (_val_:field) to retrive the end_time offset, resulting in the query being 1970-01-01T04:32:010Z+(_val_:**prep_time)MINUTES However the query seems to have syntax errors. Or is it allowed to use the _val_:field in such instances ? As an extension I'll also have two offsets resulting in something similar to 1970-01-01T04:32:010Z+(_val_:**prep_time)MINUTES+(_val_:extend_time)MINUTES Thanks, Indika On 19 November 2012 09:17, Jack Krupansky <j...@basetechnology.com> wrote: > You can do numeric math in function queries, but not string operations, > and there is no provision for doing string operations in a query using the > result of an embedded function query. > > You haven't shown us a full query. > > Sounds like we have another candidate for "XY Problem".
