You're using query and filter query backwards - the query is what you are
looking for (the OR), while the filter query is the constraint on the
query - the drill down.

Thanks, I've tried doing
<lst name="params">
<str name="wt">xml</str>
<str name="fq">
(constituencies:(ian paisley) OR label:(ian paisley) OR office:(ian
paisley))
</str>
<str name="q">name_long:"paisley, ian"</str>
</lst>
</lst>
<result name="response" numFound="0" start="0"/>
and
<str name="fq">+ian +paisley "paisley, ian"</str>
<str name="q">name_long:"paisley, ian"</str>
But neither return any results

Use filter queries to filter or drill down:

Also consider using dismax/edismax queries, which are designed to match on
any of multiple fields.
Also be careful to put a space between each left parenthesis and field
name since there is a known bug that causes such queries to fail.

Subject: OR query
Hi,
I have a query that searches through every field to find the text 'london'
(constituencies:(london) OR label:(london) OR name:(london) OR
office:(london))
Which works fine, but when I want to filter my results. Say I want to
filter down to constituencies that exactly match 'london', but also search
the rest of the fields to make sure that the keyword still matches
elsewhere
(label:(london) OR name:(london) OR office:(london)) AND
(constituencies:"london")
Sometimes I get zero results because label, name and office don't have the
keyword 'london', but I know constituencies does, so results should be >
0.
But if try:
(constituencies:(london) OR name:(london) OR office:(london)) AND
(label:"london")
returns results because constituencies is in one of the OR queries.
Is there a way to say if none of the OR quires bring back a result at
least
search the AND?
Thanks
