Hi, this is the first time I'm writing to this list, so hi to all :-)
I'm having problems querying text having special characters inside (see https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/query-guide/standard-query-parser.html#escaping-special-charaters). My setup: Solr 9.6.1 running as a standalone server system under Java 21 on an internal Linux VM (Ubuntu 24.04). For testing purposes I created a new core "test" and uploaded a few sample documents to it: { "responseHeader":{ "status":0, "QTime":0, "params":{ "q":"*:*", "indent":"true", "q.op":"OR", "useParams":"", "_":"1723547755451" } }, "response":{ "numFound":7, "start":0, "numFoundExact":true, "docs":[{ "id":"70", "resourcename":"beispiel.txt", "content_type":["text/plain; charset=windows-1252"], "content":[" \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Suchtext:\r\nab_dc\r\n \n "], "_version_":1801822834550374400 },{ "id":"71", "resourcename":"beispiel2.txt", "content_type":["text/plain; charset=windows-1252"], "content":[" \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Suchtext:\r\nab-dc\r\n \n "], "_version_":1801823062283255808 },{ "id":"72", "resourcename":"beispiel3.txt", "content_type":["text/plain; charset=windows-1252"], "content":[" \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dies ist ein langer Suchtext:\r\nab-de\r\ndef+hi\r\nkl-nop\r\n \n "], "_version_":1806915982686420992 },{ "id":"73", "resourcename":"beispiel4.txt", "content_type":["text/plain; charset=windows-1252"], "content":[" \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ab-cd\r\nde-fg\r\n \n "], "_version_":1806917322172006400 },{ "id":"74", "resourcename":"beispiel2-1.txt", "content_type":["text/plain; charset=windows-1252"], "content":[" \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dies ist ein langer Suchtext:\r\nabedc\r\ndef+ghi\r\n \n "], "_version_":1807270704395059200 },{ "id":"75", "resourcename":"beispiel2-2.txt", "content_type":["text/plain; charset=windows-1252"], "content":[" \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dies ist ein langer Suchtext:\r\nab-dc\r\ndefxghi\r\n \n "], "_version_":1807270722296348672 },{ "id":"76", "resourcename":"beispiel2-3.txt", "content_type":["text/plain; charset=windows-1252"], "content":[" \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dies ist ein langer Suchtext:\r\nabedc\r\ndefxghi\r\n \n "], "_version_":1807270740219658240 }] } } The problem is that I haven't found out how to correctly search for documents with a "-" in it by using wildcards (* and ?). Some queries seem to work while others don't... The query itself is basically the same: q=...&q.op=AND&fl=id,resourcename&sort=id+asc&start=0&rows=2147483647 and differs only in the value of "q". My queries: q: *uchtex* => ok, 6 documents found (#70, #71, #72, #74, #75, #76) q: uchtex* => ok, 0 documents found q: Suchtex* => ok, 6 documents found (#70, #71, #72, #74, #75, #76) q: b?d => ok, 0 documents found q: b?d* => ok, 0 documents found q: *b-d* => ok, 0 documents found (because "-" isn't quoted, right?) q: *b?d* => not ok, only 3 documents found: #70, #74, #76 => missing: #71, #72, #75 q: *b*d* => not ok, only 3 documents found: #70, #74, #76 => (all 7 expected) q: ?b?d? => not ok, only 3 documents found: #70, #74, #76 => missing: #71, #72, #75 q: ab* => ok, all 7 documents found q: ab*d => not ok, 0 documents found => missing: #73 q: ab??d => not ok, 0 documents found => missing: #73 q: ab\-dc => ok, 2 documents found: #71, #75 q: ab\-d* => not ok, 0 documents found => missing: #71, #72, #75 q: ab?d* => not ok, 3 documents found: #70, #74, #76 => missing: #71, #72, #75 q: *b\-d* => not ok, 0 documents found => missing: #71, #72, #75 q: *b\\-d* => 0 Can someone enlighten me what I'm doing wrong? Am I missing something? Or do I misunderstand something? Regards Thorsten
