NOT operator behaves a little bit different. It is like a filter. You just can't combine OR and NOT directly. Try this: q=(categoryType:[* TO* ] NOT categoryType:"MEDIATYPE") OR fmMediaType:"text" Solr allows q=(NOT categoryType:"MEDIATYPE") query but it can be seen as q= *:* NOT categoryType:"MEDIATYPE" Hope this helps.
