Specifying Terms for the Standard Query Parser
A query to the standard query parser is broken up into terms and operators. There are two types of terms: single
terms and phrases.
A single term is a single word such as "test" or "hello"
A phrase is a group of words surrounded by double quotes such as "hello dolly"
Multiple terms can be combined together with Boolean operators to form more complex queries (as described
below).
It is important that the analyzer used for queries parses terms and phrases in a way that is consistent
with the way the analyzer used for indexing parses terms and phrases; otherwise, searches may
produce unexpected results.
Term Modifiers
Solr supports a variety of term modifiers that add flexibility or precision, as needed, to searches. These modifiers
include wildcard characters, characters for making a search "fuzzy" or more general, and so on. The sections
below describe these modifiers in detail.
Wildcard Searches
Solr's standard query parser supports single and multiple character wildcard searches within single terms.
Wildcard characters can be applied to single terms, but not to search phrases.
Wildcard Search Type
Special
Character
Example
Single character (matches a single
character)
? The search string te?t would match both test
and text.
