Yes, better doc is needed. I went to the SolrQuerySyntax wiki to see where it might be added and discovered that it links to the 3.6 Lucene query syntax, which doesn't mention the 4.0 support for regular expressions that is mentioned on the Lucene 4.0 query syntax page:

http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0-BETA/queryparser/org/apache/lucene/queryparser/classic/package-summary.html#Regexp_Searches

Is there even a 4.0 web page corresponding to this 3.6 page?:
http://lucene.apache.org/core/3_6_0/queryparsersyntax.html

Subject: Solr 4 upgrade guide?

Hi,

Lucene 4 has a nice upgrade guide: http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0-BETA/MIGRATE.html But I am unaware of something for Solr. Of course there is the CHANGES.txt.

What triggered my interest in this is my discovery that '/' is now a special character in the query syntax for its support of regular expressions. So it now needs to be escaped if it wasn't prior to v4. This is definitely something to be documented more clearly for the Solr user somewhere.
