hi all :) I'm having difficultly filtering my documents when a field is either blank or set to a specific value. I would have thought this would work
fq=-Type:[* TO *] OR Type:blue which I would expect to find all document where either Type is undefined or Type is "blue". my actual result set is zero. using a similar filter fq=-Type:[* TO *] OR OtherThing:cat does what I would expect (documents with undefined type or documents with cats), so it feels like solr is getting confused with the range negation and ORing, but only when the field is the same. adding various parentheses makes no difference. I know this is kind of nebulous sounding, but I was hoping someone would look at this and go "you're doing it wrong. your filter should be..." the field is defined as <field name="Type" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/> if it matters. tia --Geoff
