I haven't tested this aspect of the REST API, so I really don't know. The documentation is also very silent on this point [1] - doesn't say anything on what query parameter should look like. However, Solr should be perfect for your purpose. Any query you can express in Discovery you can ask Solr directly. You may be also interested in these developments: [2] [3] [2] Doesn't have the code published yet, but it's coming. It would be very helpful if you could review and comment on [3].
