Apache Solr Reference Guide Covering Apache Solr 6.0

"jakarta apache" OR jakarta
The Boolean Operator +
The + symbol (also known as the "required" operator) requires that the term after the + symbol exist somewhere
in a field in at least one document in order for the query to return a match.
For example, to search for documents that must contain "jakarta" and that may or may not contain "lucene," use
the following query:
+jakarta lucene
This operator is supported by both the standard query parser and the DisMax query parser.
The Boolean Operator AND (&&)
The AND operator matches documents where both terms exist anywhere in the text of a single document. This is
equivalent to an intersection using sets. The symbol && can be used in place of the word AND.
To search for documents that contain "jakarta apache" and "Apache Lucene," use either of the following queries:
"jakarta apache" AND "Apache Lucene"
"jakarta apache" && "Apache Lucene"
The Boolean Operator NOT (!)
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term after NOT. This is equivalent to a difference using
sets. The symbol ! can be used in place of the word NOT.
The following queries search for documents that contain the phrase "jakarta apache" but do not contain the
phrase "Apache Lucene":
"jakarta apache" NOT "Apache Lucene"
"jakarta apache" ! "Apache Lucene"
The Boolean Operator -
The - symbol or "prohibit" operator excludes documents that contain the term after the - symbol.
For example, to search for documents that contain "jakarta apache" but not "Apache Lucene," use the following
query:
"jakarta apache" -"Apache Lucene"
Escaping Special Characters
Solr gives the following characters special meaning when they appear in a query:
+ - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : /
To make Solr interpret any of these characters literally, rather as a special character, precede the character with
a backslash character \. For example, to search for (1+1):2 without having Solr interpret the plus sign and
parentheses as special characters for formulating a sub-query with two terms, escape the characters by
preceding each one with a backslash:
\(1\+1\)\:2
