Erick, Mikhail, and Shawn, thank you all for your help.
Just a quick re-cap of what I’m trying to achieve: my need is to combine 2 or more “fq” queries to be treated as OR. Erick, Mikhail, I have the syntax you provided but I cannot get them to work properly, in fact I’m seeing odd behavior that I cannot explain so I hope you can shed some light on them. The following give me hits as expected: 1269 hits: http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= {!field+f=DateA+v=$a}+{!field+f=DateB+v=$b}+ &a=[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01]&b=[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] 1269 hits: http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= {!field+f=DateA+v=$a}+ &a=[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] 905 hits: http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= {!field+f=DateB+v=$b}+ &b=[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] The following don’t give me a hit as expected: 0 hits: http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= {!field+f=DateA+v=$a}+ &a=[2020-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] 0 hits: http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= {!field+f=DateB+v=$b}+ &b=[2020-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] The next 3 syntax are odd behavior that I cannot explain: A) 1269 hits (expected): http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= {!field+f=DateA+v=$a}+{!field+f=DateB+v=$b}+ &a=[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01]&b=[2020-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] B) 905 hits (odd result): http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= {!field+f=DateB+v=$a}+{!field+f=DateA+v=$b}+ &a=[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01]&b=[2020-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] C) 0 hits (but why?!): http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= {!field+f=DateA+v=$a}+{!field+f=DateB+v=$b}+ &a=[2020-01-01+TO+2030-01-01]&b=[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] D) 0 hits (but why?!): http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= {!field+f=DateB+v=$a}+{!field+f=DateA+v=$b}+ &a=[2020-01-01+TO+2030-01-01]&b=[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] Since my goal here is to have fq apply OR on the two date searches, test B clearly shows that’s not the case and test C & D shows that fq is ignoring the second part in the query. I also tried this syntax: http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= filter({!field+f=DateA+op=Intersects}[2000-01-01+TO+2020-01-01])+ filter({!field+f=DateB+op=Intersects}[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01]) But Solr is reporting an error: “no field name specified in query and no default specified via 'df' param”. Shawn, using the syntax that you suggested everything works (including my mix date range tests of the above): http://localhost:8983/solr/openpages/select_openpages_3?start=0&q=*&q.op=AND?&q=*&fq= DateA:[2000-01-01+TO+2030-01-01]+OR+DateB:[2000-01-01 TO 2030-01-01] My motivation to use “{!field}[]” in fq was what I read somewhere (I cannot find it now, even after many Google’s on it) is far faster and efficient than the tradition <Field-Name>:[value] Steve On Wed, Jun 8, 2016 at 6:46 PM, Shawn Heisey <apa...@elyograg.org> wrote: > On 6/8/2016 2:28 PM, Steven White wrote: > > ?q=*&q.op=OR&fq={!field+f=DateA+op=Intersects}[2020-01-01+TO+2030-01-01] > > Looking at this and checking the code for the Field query parser, I > cannot see how what you have used above is any different than: > > fq=DateA:[2020-01-01 TO 2030-01-01] > > The "op=Intersects" parameter that you have included appears to be > ignored by the parser code that I examined. > > If my understanding of the documentation and the code is correct, then > you should be able to use this: > > fq=DateB:[2000-01-01 TO 2020-01-01] OR DateA:[2020-01-01 TO 2030-01-01] > > In my examples I have changed the URL encoded "+" character back to a > regular space. > > Thanks, > Shawn > >
