--------------------------------------
Summary: /query page generates http link that loads
incorrectly-encoded url
Key: SOLR-11696
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11696
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Components: website
Reporter: stuart robinson
i'm trying to query documents that contain both "Covers for Modular Outdoor
Club Chairs" and "Resort Club & Ottoman Set" in my "vv" array field.
that single ampersand seems to breaking the default url encoding that is
generated in my browser (Chrome 62.0.3202.94) when i click the search link
generated at the top of the /query page of the solr UI.
in the UI, my q is
{code}
vv:"Covers for Modular Outdoor Club Chairs" && vv:"Resort Club & Ottoman Set"
{code}
the UI generates the following url. when I click it, i get different results
from the results in the /query UI
{code}
http://localhost:8983/solr/films/select?q=vv:"Covers for Modular Outdoor Club
Chairs" && vv:"Resort Club & Ottoman Set"
{code}
because the url gets encoded wrong. Resultant url seen in browser:
{code}
http://localhost:8983/solr/films/select?q=vv:%22Covers%20for%20Modular%20Outdoor%20Club%20Chairs%22%20&&%20vv:%22Resort%20Club%20&%20Ottoman%20Set%22
{code}
Properly-encoded url that leads to correct results:
{code}
http://localhost:8983/solr/films/select?q=vv%3A%22Covers%20for%20Modular%20Outdoor%20Club%20Chairs%22%20%26%26%20vv%3A%22Resort%20Club%20%26%20Ottoman%20Set%22
{code}
(encoded using https://www.urlencoder.org/)
if the Solr UI is to generate a clickable link that appears to be equivalent to
the UI's search, then it ought to link to the correct search.
i'm listing this as a "bug" even though it seems to be more of a "flaw" because
it's an issue that breaks the user experience and leads to unexpected results.
