Yes, but before the query parser can even get the query string, the servlet container parses query args and & is a delimiter. Hence you need to escape '&' for the sake of the servlet container. > If I do the same query: q=description:(test)&&!(type:10)&&!(type:14) in the > Solr admin interface, I get the correct results. Right, because the browser knows to escape '&' for you. You need to escape '&' as %26, since that is how URL escaping works (it has nothing to do with lucene syntax.) -Yonik
