Although pure negative queries are supposed to work, there have been bugs in
various releases, so make the query explicit:
*:* -author_location:unset
Do you actually use an explicit string of "unset" when adding documents?

Subject: How to combine Date range query with negation query
Hi All, I'm trying to run a query against the following fields:
<field name="author_location" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"
default="unset" />and <field name="created_at" type="date" indexed="true"
stored="true"/>
against For majority of the documents the author_location is default i.e.
"unset" . I want to run a query where the author_location has got some value
other than "unset" and the created_at field is greater a given timestamp. I
tried running the following query: <str
name="q">-author_location:unset&created_at:[2013-03-10T06:30:21Z TO
*]</str>but its not working and its dumping results which contains
author_location=unset. I also tried the following using filter query, but it
seems the query is not correct or something like that as I'm getting the
results that includes author_location=unset documents.
Would appreciate if someone could point me to the right query. Please note
that, I'm running SOLR: solr-spec 4.0.0.2012.10.06.03.04.33on a Linux
machine.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, DK
