I do have :'s and \'s escaped, I believe. If in my schema, I have the "key" field set to indexed=false, then is that maybe the issue? I'm going to try to set that to true and rebuild the repository and see if that does it. -----Original Message----- From: Jack Krupansky [mailto:j...@basetechnology.com] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 11:20 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Deleting an entry from a collection when they key has ":" in it You need to escape colons in queries, using either a backslash or enclosing the full query term in quotes. In your case, you have backslashes as well in your query, which the query parser will interpret as an escape! So, you need to escape those backslashes as well: D\:\\somedir\\somefile.pdf or "D:\\somedir\\somefile.pdf" -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Baughman Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 11:33 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Deleting an entry from a collection when they key has ":" in it Hi All, I seem to be really struggling to delete an entry from a search repository that has a ":" in the key. The key is path to the file ie, "D:\somedir\somefile.pdf". I want to use a query to delete it and I just can't seem to make it go away.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Dan
