Thank you very much for your explanation. I understand now. I thought explainOther would explain also why a document is not in the resultset, on the contrary, it explains only why a given document is in the result set.

So, the part of the query, which you *don't* see in expalinOther, kicks out the doc from the AND query results.

I removed the extra df parameter, and nothing changed w.r.t. the query results (but I saved some bytes) I changed the main AND with an OR and now I get the response I was looking for, you can see it attached , it's the output of $ jq -r '.debug.explainOther.PUBMEDPMID35868042' explain_response.json So the question now is, why if it is an AND I don't get the same answer? With the OR query, this document is in the result set, while it's not with the original AND query. Thank you very much for your help.

A few thoughts: - it seems like the query consist of two main subqueries combined by AND. Just for experiment, can you change it to OR? Providing the response "No matching clauses" neither of them matches. If it's true, you may drill down them one by one. - I spotted many fields under df param. But it's qf syntax, df accepts single field and handled by standard parser. -- Mikhail On Tue, Oct 7, 2025 at 11:01 AM Danilo Tomasoni <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I have a complex query with edismax parser, involving several subqueries. I attach a readable version of it. I want to use the debugQuery=on and explainOther parameters to understand why a given id didn't match. I expect to see something like "CTSS was in title, but you required also other conditions that are not met" and I like to know which one of the conditions was not met for my document. To debug, I performed this query with curl like this curl -X POST --data @payload.txt "https://mysolr/jupiter/select?wt=json&rows=0&indent=off&debugQuery=on&explainOther=id%3APUBMEDPMID35868042"; where payload.txt is attached (the urlencoded version of readable query basically) If I look at the response (explain_response.json attached) I see: ... "PUBMEDPMID35868042": "\n0.0 = No matching clauses\n" ... Even if I run this other query: id:PUBMEDPMID35868042 AND titles:ctss returns the document, and this is a partial match in subquery9, so I should have at least a matching clause. Can you tell me what's wrong in my reasoning? thank you very much.
