: I am about to index identfier fields containing blanks (shelfmarks) eg. G
: 23/60 12
: The field type is set to Solr.string. To get the exact matching hit (the doc
: with shelfmark mentioned above) the user must quote the search term. Is there
: a way to omit the quotes?
whitespace has to be quoted when using the lucene QParser because it's a
semanticly significant character that means "end boolean query clause"
if you want to search for a literal string w/o needing any escaping, use
the term QParser...
{!term f=yourFieldName}G 23/60 12
Of course, if you are putting this in a URL (ie: testing in a browser) it
still needs to be URL escaped...
/select?q={!term+f=yourFieldName}G+23/60+12
